INDIRECT  RADIATION. 


HE  introductory  engraving  represents,  so  far  as  practicable,  one 
of  the  principal  features  in  our  work,  viz.,  an  arrangement 
for  warming  and  ventilating  by  indirect  radiation;  that  is, 
by  having  the  heating  stacks  or  radiators  placed  below  (in  the 
cellar  or  some  lower  room)  instead  of  within  the  rooms  to  be 
warmed.  At  the  left  is  shown  the  Boiler  or  Steam  Generator, 
with  its  fire  regulating  attachments,  water-feeder,  safety- 
vent,  &c.  At  the  right  of  the  boiler  are  Heating  Stacks. 
To  these  stacks  is  connected  an  air  duct,  through  which 
fresh  out-door  air  passes  to  be  heated.  The  heating  stacks, 
as  shown,  are  connected  with  the  boiler  by  two  pipes ; the  upper  one  supplies 
the  steam,  and  the  lower  one  returns  the  water  of  condensation  to  the  boiler. 
Two  rooms  on  the  first  floor  above  the  apparatus  are  represented  as  being 
warmed  and  ventilated.  Any  number  of  rooms  directly  over,  on  other  floors, 
can  be  warmed  and  ventilated  from  the  same  heating  stack ; and  any  number 
of  heating  stacks  can  be  supplied,  to  suit  the  size  of  the  building.  Rooms  on 
the  same  floor  with  or  below  the  boiler,  can  also  be  effectually  warmed,  by

radiators  supplied  with  heat  from  the  same  boiler,  at  the  same  time  the  rooms 
above  are  being  warmed  and  ventilated  as  just  described. 


This  boiler  is  in  a portable  form,  and,  as  now  constructed  varies  slightly 
in  appearance  and  fixtures  from  the  engraving.  It  is  fitted  up  complete  in  our 
shop,  and  is  ready,  when  placed  in  a building,  to  attach  the  necessary  heating 
stacks  or  radiators  by  simply  connecting  two  pipes. 

The  feed  door  and  the  ash-pit  door  do  double  duty  by  also  opening  and 
closing,  automatically,  to  govern  the  fire.  The  regulator  weight  on  the  lever

is  to  be  moved  back  and  forth  to  increase  or  diminish  the  fire  to  suit  the 
weather.  The  automatic  water-feeder,  with  its  three  try-cocks,  the  safety-valve, 
and  the  water-supply  cock,  are  all  plainly  shown  at  the  right. 

After  the  boiler  is  put  together  and  thoroughly  tested  at  our  manufactory, 
it  is  taken  apart  for  shipment.  As  each  part  is  plainly  marked,  any  good 
mechanic  can  put  it  together  again,  and  set  it  in  operation  without  difficulty. 

We  make  five  different  sizes.  In  some  instances  we  put  more  than  one  in 
the  same  building,  but  for  large  buildings  we  usually  furnish  a boiler  enclosed 
in  brick. 


Fig-  5- 


SECTIONAL  BOILER.  Set  in  Brick. 


The  above  engraving  represents  one  of  our  Patented  Stea,m  Boilers,  or 
Generators,  set  in  brick-work.  Fig.  6 shows  the  same  boiler,  with  a portion  of 
the  brick-work  removed. 

They  are  constructed  of  heavy,  jointless  wrought  iron  tubes,  from 
inches  to  3 inches  in  diameter,  each  being  screwed  firmly  and  compactly  into 
elbow  sockets  ; these — the  only  joints  of  the  boiler — are  at  the  extreme  ends, 
and  not  in  immediate  contact  with  the  fire. 

It  is  really  a “tubular  boiler,”  without  that  dangerous  portion — the  ordi- 
nary shell. 

The  water  fills  the  tubes,  and  circulates  through  them  to  the  line  indicated 
— about  two-thirds  the  height  of  the  boiler. 

The  steam  separates  from  the  water  at  this  line,  and,  passing  through  the 
sectional  steam-chamber  into  the  top  cross-connection,  or  steam-drum,  is  car- 
ried off,  to  be  used  as  desired. 

The  fire  is  contained  in  a chamber  of  fire-bricks,  and  is  so  arranged  and 
proportioned  as  to  act  with  the  best  effect  on  all  the  tubes.  The  “shine  of

the  fire”  is  perceptible  on  all  the  surfaces  ; in  fact  the  spaces  between  the  tubes 
form  the  “combustion  chamber”  of  the  fire. 

Through  the  open  door  is  seen  the  position  of  the  grate-bars,  which  rest  on 
iron  bearings  imbedded  in  the  brick-work,  and  can  easily  be  replaced.  The  ash- 
pit and  draft-door  are  directly  beneath.  The  small  door  represented  is  for  clean- 
ing out  soot,  and  also  for  regulating  the  draft  to  the  fire. 

When  used  for  power  purposes,  a large  steam-drum  is  attached  and  the 
water-feeder  (shown  on  the  left)  and  the  automatic  draft  regulators  are  not 
employed. 

Free  circulation  of  the  water  throughout  all  their  parts  is  a cardinal 
principle  observed  in  the  construction  of  our  boilers.  Not  only  are  the  injuri- 
ous inequalities  of  temperature  thus  avoided,  but  dirt  and  sediment  can  find  no 
lodgment  except  in  the  lower  cross-connection,  where  they  can  be  easily 
removed  by  unscrewing  the  cap  shown  outside  the  brick-work.

SINGLE  SECTION. 


For  Shipping  and  Moving — Its  sectional  con- 
struction allows  it  to  be  carried,  piece  by  piece, 
through  any  ordinary  entrance,  and  be  put  to- 
gether on  the  exact  spot  where  it  is  to  be  used.  In 
shipping,  it  is  safer  and  less  expensive  to  do  so  in 
small  parts. 

For  repairs,  any  one  or  more  tubes  of  the  boiler 
can  be  replaced,  as  each  is  screwed  in  separately, 
with  right  and  left  hand  threads.

OUR  SECTIONAL  BOILERS  SAFE  FROM  EXPLOSION. 

The  Scientific  American  very  truthfully  says — “Boilers  constructed  in  sec- 
tions have,  within  a few  years,  attained  a great  popularity,  and  this  is  not  strange 
when  it  is  considered  that  when  the  large  mass  of  water  and  steam  finds  vent 
through  the  shell  of  a boiler,  its  sudden  liberation  spreads  destruction  around. 
If  a hole  of  a few  inches  in  area  is  made,  the  steam  and  water  escape  only  grad- 
ually,  and  without  doing  serious  harm.  It  is  impossible,  probably,  to  prevent 
the  giving  out  of  boilers  through  carelessness  or  ignorance ; the  remedy  appears 
to  be  to  so  construct  the  boiler  that,  when  any  part  fails,  only  a portion  can  give 
out  at  a time.  The  object  may  be  attained  by  building  the  boiler  in  sections, 
so  that  if  one  fails,  the  others  are  left  intact,  and  their  contents  liberated  grad- 
ually by  escaping  through  the  openings  communicating  with  the  ruptured 
section.” 

The  Locomotive  says : ‘ ‘ Let  these  persons,  so  confident  of  the  ability  of 
their  boilers  to  withstand  such  severe  and  frequent  tests,  estimate  the  accumu- 
lated pressure  of  100  lbs.  per  square  inch  on  a single  inch  of  the  lioiler’s  length, 
measured,  we  mean,  in  the  direction  of  its  axis,  and  stand  aghast  at  the  tre- 
mendous force  constantly  struggling  to  free  itself  from  its  iron  prison.” 

As  the  pressure  indicated  by  the  steam-gauge  is  so  much  on  every  square 
inch,  it  is  a matter  of  very  simple  mathematical  calculation  to  determine  how 
much  strain  each  cylinder  actually  has  to  bear  at  a given  pressure — say  50  lbs. 
to  the  square  inch.  For  example,  a cylindrical  boiler,  four  feet  in  diameter  and 
twelve  feet  long,  has  a surface  of  21,714.76  square  inches.  A tube,  two  inches 
inside  diameter  and  twelve  feet  long,  has  a surface  of  904.32  square  inches. 
The  former  (a  common  size  for  a boiler),  at  50  lbs.  pressure  on  every  square 
inch,  has  a bursting  force  of  1,085,733.5  pounds,  or  over  542  tons,  while  the 
latter  (the  size  of  tube  we  employ)  has  but  45,216  pounds  or  a fraction  over  22 
tons.  The  plates  forming  the  large  cylinder,  to  be  in  proportion  to  the  strain, 
as  compared  with  the  small  one,  should  be  more  than  24  times  thicker,  or  3.696 
inches  thick. 

W e manufacture  thirty  sizes  of  the  style  of  sectional  boilers  represented  in 
Figs.  5 and  6,  and  other  modifications  of  the  same  principle,  and  erect  them  of 
suitable  capacity  for  warming  and  ventilating  buildings  of  any  size,  or  for  run- 
ning engines  of  any  power. 

BASE-BURNING  BOILERS. 

W e are  Sole  Agents  for  the  United  States  of  the  “Champion  Base-Burning 
and  Self-Feeding  Boilers,”  shown  in  Figs.  42  and  43,  and  invite  an  investigation 
as  to  their  merits.  They  have  been  constructed  to  avoid  the  defects  of  other 
base-burning  boilers  and  have  given  unqualified  satisfaction  where  used. 

HORIZONTAL  AND  LOCOMOTIVE  TUBULAR  BOILERS. 

We  also  manufacture  and  erect,  for  all  purposes,  the  boilers  represented  in 
Figs.  30  and  38,  as  well  as  boilers  of  other  kinds. 

We  set  them  in  vaults,  under  sidewalks,  or  elsewhere,  in  a superior 
manner,  taking  special  care  to  have  the  brick-work  thoroughly  supported 
in  place  by  extra  heavy  iron  fronts,  through  bolts,  stays,  anchors,  &c. , &c.  We 
often  set  them  in  buildings  where  we  do  no  other  ptirt  of  the  work.

HEATING-  STACK. 


BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  NEW  FORK  AND  CHICAGO.  13 


OUR  BRASS  HEATING  STACK. 

One  of  the  most  novel  features  of  our  work  is  the  Heating  Stack  or  cluster 
of  radiators  represented  in  Fig.  25  ; it  is  designed  with  express  reference  to 
warming  large  volumes  of  cold  air  in  the  smallest  space. 

It  is  constructed,  in  the  main,  of  thin  plates  of  the  best  quality  of  rolled 
brass. 

Each  radiator  (of  which  any  number  forms  a cluster)  is  about  seven  inches 
wide,  one-half  inch  thick,  and  from  two  and  one-half  to  three  and  one-half  feet 
in  length.  Each  radiator  is  shaped  by  powerful  steam  presses  from  a single 
sheet. 

The  bottom  of  the  radiator  is  without  a joint,  the  ends  and  top  are  double- 
seamed  ; then  they  are  machine-riveted  at  intervals  of  every  five-eighths  of  an 
inch,  tinned,  welded  and  soldered  in  a bath  of  molten  metal,  either  one  of 
which  operations  alone  would  make  a perfect  joint. 

In  forming  a cluster,  the  radiators  are  placed  side  by  side,  one-half  inch 
apart.  Between  each  one  is  placed  a strip  or  stay,  the  same  size,  with  corru- 
gations one-half  inch  deep  and  one-half  inch  apart ; these  are  enclosed  within 
a strong  casing  or  box,  through  the  sides  of  which,  top  and  bottom,  above  and 
below  the  radiators  (but  not  through  them),  are  half-inch  and  three-quarter-inch 
wrought  iron  bolts,  with  nuts.  These,  when  screwed  up,  hold  the  whole  to- 
gether in  the  firmest  manner  possible. 

The  radiators  are  placed  on  an  inclination  in  the  casing,  the  steam  entering 
and  the  condensed  water  discharging  at  the  lowest  end,  at  the  bottom,  where  a 
short  pipe  is  represented  screwed  in.  Cast  iron  division  plates  or  septums  are 
placed  both  within  and  between  the  radiators  ; the  inner  plates  have  separate 
openings  for  the  steam  to  enter  each  radiator,  and  for  the  condensed  water  to 
run  back  to  the  boiler. 

The  strength  of  this  heating  stack  is  very  great,  being  limited  only  by  the 
strength  of  the  bolts  and  nuts  holding  it  together.  This  immense  strength,  it 
will  be  observed,  is  due  to  the  thorough  staying  (every  half-inch  on  the  surface 
of  the  radiators  being  braced,)  the  pressure  ultimately  coming  on  the  outside 
plates,  bolts  and  nuts.  We  believe  no  other  radiator  presents  so  much  and  so 
effective  radiating  surface  within  so  small  a bulk. 

It  is  not  liable  to  freeze,  as  the  steam  spaces  are  undivided,  shallow,  side 
by  side,  and  with  no  remote  pockets  below  the  steam  for  the  condensed  water 
to  fall  into  and  freeze,  as  hi  ordinary  steam  coils. 

When  desired,  we  will  put  in  coils  of  wrought  iron  pipe,  or  heating  surfaces 
made  of  cast  iron,  instead  of  the  brass  heating  stacks. 

The  warmed  air,  after  leaving  the  heating  stack,  flows  upwards  into  the 
rooms  through  registers  (five  sizes  of  which  are  here  represented).  In  the  de- 
scriptive cut  they  are  shown  as  placed  in  the  floor,  but  in  most  instances  they 
are  placed  in  the  wall  or  partition,  just  above  the  base-board.  Their  sizes  vary 
according  to  the  size  of  the  room,  their  location,  &c.  They  are  furnished  with 
dampers  or  fans,  by  which  the  flow  of  air  through  them  is  controlled  by  the 
occupants  of  the  rooms.

One  or  more  ventilating  or  discharge  flues,  as  shown  in  Fig.  1,  are 
required  near  the  floor  in  each  room,  to  allow  the  colder  air  to  flow  out  and 
make  room  for  the  inflowing  warmed  air.  An  open  fire-place  usually  answers 
this  purpose.

SCREENS. 

The  illustrations  of  screens  herein  given,  Figs.  8 and  10,  are  the  most 
desirable  patterns  in  the  market.  The  screens  are  made  of  cast  iron,  of  almost 
any  dimension,  painted  or  bronzed  to  suit  the  tastes  of  our  customers,  and  fitted 
with  marble  tops  of  any  desired  pattern  or  quality. 

They  are  used  principally  for  covering  radiator  stacks  of  plain  pipes. 

Their  employment  adds  considerably  to  the  expense,  takes  extra  space,  and 
retards,  rather  than  assists,  radiation.

OUR  HOT 

WATER  APPARATUS, 

$ 

For  warming  private  dwellings  and  other  buildings  we  often  employ  hot 
water  instead  of  steam  as  a heating  medium  in  the  pipes  and  radiators. 

The  form  of  apparatus  is  substantially  that  which  we  employ  for  steam,  the 
main  difference  being  that  for  water  the  entire  apparatus,  except  a space  pro- 
vided for  air,  is  filled  with  water,  while  in  the  steam  apparatus  the  water  line 
is  at  a fixed  point  in  the  boiler.  It  is  constructed  nearly  in  the  same  manner, 
although  it  is  more  essential  in  the  water  arrangement  to  have  the  materials 
strong  and  perfect,  and  the  joints  absolutely  tight. 

It  is  quite  dissimilar,  in  many  particulars,  to  ordinary  hot  water  appara- 
tus, yet  it  combines  their  advantages  with  those  of  the  steam  apparatus,  at 
the  same  time  avoiding  the  objectionable  features  of  the  old  style  of  water 
apparatus. 

When  the  apparatus  is  firmly  screwed  together  on  the  premises  where 
it  is  to  be  employed,  the  air  from  the  interior  is  expelled  by  means  of  a 
pump.  By  the  same  pump  the  whole  is  then  subjected  to  a hydrostatic  test  of 
at  least  four  hundred  pounds  pressure  to  every  square  inch,  with  a view  to 
permanency. 

When  the  whole  apparatus  has  been  proven  to  be  perfectly  water  and  air- 
tight, it  is  sealed  by  the  safety-valve,  and,  as  no  evaporation  is  allowed,  theoreti- 
cally, no  more  water  need  ever  be  added,  but,  practically,  an  occasional  addi- 
tion of  a small  quantity  is  required.  When  the  apparatus  is  perfectly  tight, 
there  is  no  rusting  of  the  apparatus,  because  no  atmospheric  air  exists  within 
it  to  form  the  chemical  condition  necessary  to  produce  rust. 

One  of  the  most  desirable  advantages  of  the  hot-water  system  is  the  wide 
range  and  great  variety  of  temperature  it  is  susceptible  of.  Immediately  on 
the  application  of  fire  in  the  boiler,  the  adjacent  water  feels  its  influence,  and 
begins  to  circulate  and  impart  a gentle  warmth  to  the  radiating  pipes.  As  the 
fire  increases  so  does  the  temperature  of  the  water  and  the  pipes,  rising  through 
all  the  grades  of  temperature  from  lukewarm  to  that  of  steam,  till  the  desired 
degrees  of  heat  are  reached. 


BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  XF.W  FORK  AND  CHICAGO.  23 


For  fall  and  spring  a range  of  temperature  considerably  below  that  ol 
steam  is  most  agreeable.  It  is  as  desirable  to  have  just  the  right  quantity  of 
warmth  during  moderate  weather,  as  it  is  to  have  just  the  right  quantity  dur- 
ing the  coldest  of  weather,  and  an  excess  is  not  only  productive  of  discomfort, 
but  of  a needless  waste  of  fuel. 

Besides  the  regulation  at  the  boiler,  the  heat  of  our  water  radiator,  when 
placed  within  a room,  is  nicely  graduated  by  a single  valve.  By  turning  this 
valve  the  aperture  for  the  flow  of  the  water  is  reduced,  and  it  circulates  pro- 
portionately cooler.  In  this  manner  one  room  may  be  warmed  by  tepid  water, 
while  the  other  rooms  have  the  full  heat  of  the  water.  These  adjustments  are 
simple ; and  all  the  operations  of  the  apparatus  are  unattended  by  noise  or 
similar  annoyance. 

The  principal  objections  to  the  use  of  other  water  arrangements  for  warm- 
ing purposes  are  their  lack  of  heating  power,  slowness  of  operation,  and  large 
amount  of  space  occupied ; all  of  which  are  obviated  in  our  system. 


OFFICE  WARMER. 

This  is  a very  simple,  efficient  and  cheap  apparatus  for  warming,  by  means 
of  hot  water,  offices  and  rooms  on  the  same  floor  with  the  entire  apparatus. 
The  plan  is  similar  to  that  for  warming  railroad  cars,  briefly  described  on  page 
28.  Some  idea  of  the  way  it  is  applied  may  be  had  by  referring  to  Figs.  17 
and  26.  The  part  denominated  the  stove  is  usually  placed  near  the  chimney, 
of  some  unimportant  part  of  the  room,  and  the  pipe  conducting  the  heated 
water  from  it  is  run  along  the  base-board,  (dropping  under  the  floor  where 
necessary  to  avoid  doors  or  furniture),  coiled  at  the  feet  of  the  occupants, 
under  the  desks  or  counters,  or  placed  in  almost  any  shape  wherever  heat  is 
most  desired. 

In  this  plan,  nearly  all  the  heat  evolved  by  the  fire,  (which,  in  the  use  of  a 
simple  stove,  is  concentrated  at  the  stove)  is  taken  up  by  the  water  and  con- 
veyed to  the  exact  point  where  warmth  is  most  wanted. 

Thus,  by  the  employment  of  water  (the  best  known  agent  for  the 
absorption  of  heat  from  fire),  the  customary  order  of  distributing  heat 
is  reversed.  Instead  of  it  being  first  and  mostly  at  the  head,  as  by  ordinary 
stoves,  it  is  here  first  imparted  to  and  steadily  held  at  the  space  nearest  the 
floor,  and  at  this  point  it  radiates  heat  unaffected  by  air-currents  or  other 
influences. 

All  incidental  heat  radiated  from  the  stove  itself,  and  the  smoke-pipe,  is 
utilized  in  the  room. 


By  this  simple  arrangement,  involving  a small  additional  expense  over  the 
common  stove,  at  least  three-fourths  of  the  fuel  is  saved,  and  a steady,  uniform, 
agreeable  and  healthful  heat  secured.  A peck  of  coal  has  served  to  keep  a floor 
25  x 75  feet  warm  for  twenty-four  hours. 

We  have  erected  a large  number  of  them  during  the  past  sixteen  years,  and 
they  have  invariably  given  unqualified  satisfaction. 

We  sometimes  place  the  Stove  ok  a floor  below,  and  encase  it  so  that 
the  heat  radiated  therefrom  may  also  help  to  warm  the  floor  above,  through  a 
register.  In  various  other  ways  we  can  adapt  the  plan  to  suit  circumstances.

FOR  GREEN-HOUSES,  &c. 

The  plan  just  described,  with  slight  modifications,  is  a very  good  one  for 
warming  green-houses,  graperies,  &c. 

The  pipes  (about  two  inches  in  diameter)  are  neatly  run  around  the  sides, 
are  not  conspicuous,  and  do  not  occupy  one-fourth  the  space  of  the  common, 
clumsy  cast  iron  ones.  No  pit  need  be  provided  for  the  boiler  or  stove,  as  it 
will  work  just  as  well  standing  on  the  same  level. 

It  cannot  Freeze,  even  if  the  tire  goes  out,  and  the  fire  may  be  kept,  and 
hot  water  maintained  in  all  the  pipes,  by  firing  two  or  three  times  in  twenty- 
four  hours,  in  the  coldest  of  weather. 

A GREATER  range  of  temperature  is  attainable  by  our  plan  than  by  any 
other.  The  radiating  pipes  may  be  made  luke-warm,  or  to  the  temperature  of 
steam,  by  a simple  adjustment  of  the  draft  to  the  fire. 

It  will  Cost  Less  to  Erect  than  the  old-fashioned  large  pipe  arrangement, 
besides  saving  the  expense  and  room  of  the  ordinary  “boiler  pit.” 

We  have  also  erected  Low-Pressure  Steam  Apparatuses  for  warming  and 
ventilating  conservatories,  graperies,  &c. ; and  our  customers  who  have  had 
several  years'  experience  in  their  use,  claim  superiority  for  this  over  other 
methods.  The  heat  by  this  system  is  regulated  by  having  the  several  lines  or 
sections  provided  with  valves  that  may  be  opened  or  closed  at  pleasure,  and  by 
the  Automatic  Fire  Regulator  attached  to  the  boiler.  The  water  is  self- 
supplying. 

For  Supplying  Moisture.- — We  have  a simple  arrangement  whereby  the  hot 
water  or  steam  in  the  radiating  pipes  is  caused  to  evaporate  water  in  a sepa- 
rate pan  or  tank,  and  any  desired  humidity  is  imparted  to  the  air  by  simply 
turning  a cock. 

Automatic  Regulator  of  the  Temperature. — We  have  a simple  contrivance 
by  which  the  temperature  within  green-houses,  Ac.,  is  maintained  at  any  given 
point  without  personal  attention. 


BAKER  HEATER”  FOR  RAILROAD  CARS.  Stove  inside  the  Car. 


This  apparatus  consists  of  a simple  tire-proof  stove,  occupying  only  two 
feet  diameter  ol  floor  space  in  one  comer  of  the  car ; a dull  fire,  that  consumes 
but  about  one  peck  of  coal  in  twelve  hours,  warms  the  water  which  circulates 
through  the  pipes  run  under  each  seat  entirely  around  the  car,  giving  each  pas-

HEATING  RAILWAY  CARS. 

Figure  27  represents  the  usual  way  we  attach  the  apparatus  to  an  ordinary 
passenger  railroad  car.  In  drawing-room  cars,  sleeping  cars  and  the  like,  the 
stove  is  usually  hidden  from  sight  within  a closet  lined  with  metal,  with  an  iron 
fret-work  door,  and  beyond  the  reach  of  the  passengers.  If  desired,  the  stove 
can  be  placed  beneath  the  car,  as  represented  in  Fig.  20. 


BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  NEW  FORK  AND  CHICAGO.  29 


senger  the  most  agreeable  foot  warmer  of  hot  water,  the  heat  of  which  is  evenly 
maintained  against  all  currents  of  air,  and  is  absolutely  unaffected  by  the  mo- 
tion of  the  car. 

By  this  plan,  nearly  the  entire  heat  of  the  fire,  instead  of  concentrating  at 
the  stove,  is  taken  up  and  distributed  at  the  very  point  where  heat  is  re- 
quired. 

The  Heat  of  the  Stove  actually  goes  to  every  Passenger,  instead  of 
every  passenger  going  to  the  heat  of  the  stove.  This  is  the  only  apparatus 
that  actually  radiates  and  holds  the  heat  at  the  floor,  and  at  the  same  time 
allows  ventilation  in  the  region  of  the  head— the  upper  space  of  the  interior  of 
the  car. 

The  water  in  the  pipes  is  rendered  frost-proof  by  being  fully  saturated  with 
pure  salt.  All  air  from  inside  the  pipes  is  positively  excluded,  which  must  be 
accomplished  to  allow  the  water  to  circulate ; hence 

The  Pipes  cannot  Rust  on  the  inside,  as  the  presence  of  air,  required  to 
form  rust,  does  not  exist. 

The  apparatus  being  air-tight,  no  evaporation  of  the  water  occurs,  and  the 
whole  remains  as  permanent  as  the  car  itself.  As  the  water  contains  no  more 
salt  than  it  can  hold  in  solution,  there  can  be  no  deposit  in  the  pipes. 

This  invention,  in  public  use  for  many  years,  has  attained  a world-wide 
notoriety  for  merit  with  railroad  managers  and  the  traveling  public,  and  has 
become  an  indispensable  requisite  to  all  first-class  railway  coaches — all  having 
adopted  it. 

We  have  a separate  pamphlet,  fully  describing  the  Car-Warmer,  which  we 
will  furnish  to  those  particularly  interested  in  the  subject. 


TURKISH  AND  RUSSIAN  BATHS. 

We  are  prepared  to  furnish  and  put  up  Steam  Turkish  and  Russian  Baths, 
in  private  houses,  in  connection  with  the  Heating  Apparatus,  or  in  buildings 
fitted  up  for  these  especial  purposes.

DOMESTIC  PUMPING  APPARATUS. 


In  erecting  our  heaters  in  dwellings,  banks,  offices  and  elsewhere,  we  hav e 
Irequent  inquiries  for  some  simple  process  for  pumping  water  other  than  l>v 
hand.  To  supply  this  want,  we  have  succeeded  in  combining  a very  simple 
boiler  with  a steam-pump  of  the  most  approved  construction  (Fig.  28).  1 he 

entire  arrangement  is  nearly  automatic  in  operation.  Our  V\  ater-f  eeder  sup- 
plies the  boiler  with  water  as  the  steam  draws  upon  it  to  drive  the  pump.  In 
ordinary  boilers  a separate  engine  is  required  for  this  purpose.  1 he  dial  of  the

indicator  shows,  at  all  times,  the  pressure  of  steam,  and  the  safety-valve  is  ever 
ready  to  relieve  any  pressure  beyond  the  point  of  limit,  which  point  seldom 
exceeds  5 lbs.  to  the  square  inch. 

It  works  uniformly,  noiselessly,  and  has  no  “centres”  on  which  to  catch; 
hence  it  may  be  started  by  opening  a single  valve  and  letting  on  steam.  So, 
with  the  valve  open,  the  pump  is  set  in  motion  by  the  simple  act  of  building 
the  fire,  and  a very  small  fire  too,  as  30  pounds  of  coal  has  run  one  of  these 
apparatuses  8 hours,  pumping  13  gallons  a minute,  an  inch  and  a quarter 
stream,  to  a height  of  95  feet.  The  principal  parts  of  the  pump  are  of  brass, 
and  the  whole  is  finished  in  a neat  and  substantial  manner. 

The  boiler  occupies  only  the  area  of  a 2 feet  circle,  is  3 feet  high,  and, 
with  the  pump,  requires  but  a small  space.  They  are  also  made  serviceable  for 
putting  out  fires,  watering  green-houses,  gardens,  lawns,  &c.,  &c.  A large 
number  of  them  have  been  in  constant  operation  during  the  past  fourteen 
years  (in  several  instances,  in  place  of  caloric  and  other  engines  removed),  and 
they  have  fully  proven  themselves  to  be  the  safest,  simplest,  tnost  reliable,  most 
efficient,  most  economical  in  fuel,  and  the  least  liable  to  get  out  of  repair  of  any- 
thing in  use.

EXPLANATORY  PARTICULARS, 


S the  construction  of  our  apparatuses  necessarily  varies  with  that  of  the 
building  in  which  each  is  placed,  there  is  little  similarity  in  them  ; con- 
, sequently  our  description  must  be  general.  Of  the  thousands  that  we 
have  erected  during  more  than  twenty-five  years  we  have  been  in  the  business, 
scarcely  any  two  are  exactly  alike. 

The  proper  size  of  boiler,  and  its  smoke-flue ; the  capacity,  dimensions, 
number  and  location  of  the  heating  stacks  and  radiators  ; the  size,  angle  and 
proportionate  arrangement  of  the  steam  conducting  and  return  water-pipes  ; 
the  size  and  location  of  the  cold-air  duct,  and  the  proportionate  dimensions  of 
its  branches ; the  same  of  the  warm-air  flues,  register  openings,  registers  and 
ventilators,  and  various  other- important  matters,  must  be  determined  to  suit 
the  conditions  varying  in  each  building,  according  to  its  size,  position,  con- 
struction, &c.,  &c.  These  peculiar  features  require  the  successful  operator  in 
the  business  to  possess  that  knowledge  which  is  acquired  only  by  extended 
practical  experience  ; and  the  want  of  this  knowledge  accounts  for  the  many 
imperfect  and  worthless  jobs  in  this  line  of  business. 


HEATING  BY  INDIRECT  RADIATION 

is  the  plan  we  prefer  wherever  it  can  be  adopted.  By  this  plan  the  apparatus 
occupies  no  available  space  except  in  the  cellar  or  some  lower  room,  where 
space  is  of  little  value.  It  is  more  readily  erected,  more  easily  looked  after  and 
the  contingencies  are  much  less  than  where  the  pipes  are  run  through  the 
building,  and,  usually,  out  of  sight.  But,  above  all  else,  this  plan  is  desirable, 
especially  for  dwellings,  because  its  operation  necessarily  involves  change  of 
air  and  ventilation — the  furnishing  to  each  pair  of  human  lungs  the  seven  cubic 
feet  of  air  which,  according  to  physiological  law,  they  breathe  and  destroy 
every  minute. 

The  operation  is  very  simple,  and  in  perfect  harmony  with  the  natural  laws 
governing  air  currents.  By  reference  to  the  cut  (Fig.  i),  the  course  of  the  air 
will  be  seen,  as  indicated  by  the  arrows.  The  air  starts  from  without  the  build- 
ing, passes  into  the  cold-air  duct  through  the  grating  (put  on  the  mouth  to 
exclude  leaves,  &c.),  is  drawn  to  the  heating  stack,  and,  getting  heated,  rises, 
by  its  superior  buoyancy,  through  the  warm-air  conductor,  and  flows  into  and 
warms  the  room  through  the  register  placed  therein. 

It  will  be  seen  that  necessary  to  this  operation  are  the  ventilating  or  ex- 
haust flues,  represented  in  Fig.  i,  by  which  provision  is  made  for  the  escape  of 
the  air  previously  filling  the  space.  As  the  inflowing  warmed  air  naturally 
rises  immediately  to  the  top  of  the  room,  the  opening  into  the  ventilating  flue 
should  be  as  close  to  the  bottom  as  practicable  ; thus  allowing  the  warmed  air 


BAKER , SMITH  & CO.,  NEW  YORK  AND  CHICAGO.  33 


to  flow  downward  to  the  feet  and  the  floor,  where  it  is  most  needed,  while  only 
the  cooler  air  is  permitted  to  waste  off  through  the  ventilating  flue.  A good, 
ordinary,  open  fire-place  answers  the  purpose  admirably  ; though  care  should 
be  taken  that  the  capacity  of  the  exhaust  does  not  exceed  that  of  the  warm-air 
flue. 

Each  room  (on  whichever  story  or  at  whatever  distance  from  the  boiler  it 
may  be  located)  has  the  stack  for  supplying  it  with  heat  located  in  the  cellar 
directly  beneath  it,  so  the  warmed  air  has  only  to  ascend  to  the  room.  By  this 
system,  the  heating  of  one  room  cannot  interfere  with  that  of  another.  When 
the  room  is  large,  more  than  one  heating  chamber  and  more  than  one  set  of 
flues  are  employed.  Where  a single  heating  stack  (or  source  of  heated  air), 
with  its  unequal  lengths  of  horizontal  hot-air  conductors,  like  a hot-air  furnace, 
is  relied  upon  to  warm  a building,  there  is  always  much  uncertainty  in  the 
operation,  as  the  experience  of  thousands  will  testify.  As,  by  our  system,  the 
air,  before  it  flows  up  into  the  rooms,  is  warmed  by  contact  with  clean  and  not 
ever- heated  surfaces,  and  is  free  from  the  common  deleterious  mixture  of  coal- 
gas  and  ashes,  it  more  nearly  resembles  the  natural  atmosphere  of  summer  than 
any  other  artificial  heat. 

Although  by  our  system  we  take  advantage  of  every  natural  condition 
favoring  the  conduction  of  heated  currents,  yet,  in  some  cases,  as  in  very  large 
buildings,  and  where  unusual  ventilation,  both  in  summer  and  winter,  is  re- 
quired, as  in  hospitals,  school  and  public  buildings,  and  in  cases  were  radiators 
and  heating  chambers  cannot  be  favorably  located,  we  create,  wholly,  or  in  part, 
the  required  air-currents  by  the  artificial  process  of  a fan  driven  by  an  engine. 
By  this  means,  if  properly  arranged,  perfect  and  absolute  control  is  obtained 
over  the  movement  of  the  air  at  all  times,  both  for  heating  and  ventilation,  or 
for  ventilation  alone.  In  other  cases  we  warm  the  ventilating  flues  by  the  in- 
troduction of  steam-pipes,  radiators,  or  burning  gas-jets,  causing  a certain  flow 
of  air  outwards. 

Our  warm-air  ducts  are  usually  made  of  heavy,  bright  tin,  and  they  should 
be  built  in  the  walls  or  partitions  while  the  building  is  being  erected.  We  often 
put  our  apparatus  in  buildings  where  warm-air  flues  are  already  provided  for 
furnaces,  and  we  can  generally  make  such  flues  answer,  with  slight  alterations, 
not  involving  much  tearing  away. 

Our  inclosures  for  the  heating  stacks  placed  at  the  mouth  of  the  warm-air 
flues  are  usually  constructed  of  well-seasoned,  tongued,  grooved  and  planed 
one-inch  boards,  forming  a box  whose  sides  can  be  screwed  up  and  taken  down 
at  pleasure,  for  cleaning,  &c.  These  are  lined  with  tin.  The  cold-air  duct  is 
similarly  constructed,  but  without  the  lining.  We  sometimes  inclose  the  stacks 
in  brick  walls,  built  from  the  bottom  of  the  cellar  to  the  ceiling.  We  also  make 
the  cold-air  duct  of  brick  and  cement,  below  the  cellar  floor,  and  form  the  top 
of  flagging-stones,  or  otherwise.  Lately  many  of  our  heater  inclosures  and 
cold-air  ducts  have  been  made  of  galvanized  iron. 

There  is  no  heat  given  off  from  the  casings  of  the  heating  stacks  in  the 
cellar,  and  the  small  amount  of  radiation  from  the  connecting  pipes  can  be  pre- 
vented by  a covering  of  felt  or  other  non-conductor. 

The  space  occupied  by  our  apparatus,  whether  used  in  the  direct  or  indirect 
form,  is  small  and  much  less  than  by  others. 

We  sometimes  place  the  radiators,  singly  or  in  clusters,  in  the  recess  of  the 
window,  introducing  outside  air  at  that  point,  and  causing  it  to  be  warmed  by 


WARMING  AND  VENTILATING  APPARATUS.

the  radiator  before  it  passes  into  the  room.  The  ingress  for  the  air  is  provided 
by  raising  the  window,  or  by  an  aperture,  made  for  the  purpose,  under  the  win- 
dow sill. 

We  think  the  time  is  not  far  distant  when  fans,  ice  and  other  means 
will  be  generally  employed  to  produce  artificial  cooling  in  summer,  a result  to  be 
desired  next  to  artificial  warming  in  winter.  It  is  practicable,  and  will  be  pro- 
vided by  us  if  desired. 

We  have  an  arrangement  for  passing  the  air,  in  summer,  through  a spray 
of  water,  which  removes  the  dust  and  reduces  the  temperature  a number  of  de-  ' 
grees,  producing  a delightful  atmosphere  within  doors. 

OUR  AUTOMATIC  FIRE-REGULATOR, 

is  a simple  mechanical  appliance  connected  with  the  boiler,  whereby  the  fire  is 
caused  to  control  its  own  draft.  It  consists  of  a small  cast-iron  bowl,  with  a 
flexible  diaphragm  or  cover,,  which  is  forced  upward  when  the  fire  has  burned 
sufficiently  to  create  a small  pressure  of  steam,  and  moves  a lever  which  is 
attached  to  the  two  drafts-doors,  as  seen  in  Figs,  i,  5,  6,  24,  42  and  43.  One  of 
these  doors  (which  is  also  the  ash-pit  door)  regulates  the  draft  from  under  the 
fire  in  front ; the  other  checks  it,  by  allowing  the  draft  to  enter  the  chimney  in- 
stead of  passing  through  the  fire,  as  seen  at  the  left  of  the  boiler.  Thus  a double 
check  is  exercised  upon  the  fire — first,  by  shutting  the  draft  under  it,  then  back 
of  it,  by  neutralizing  the  draft  in  the  chimney. 

The  point  at  which  the  fire  is  to  be  checked  is  readily  fixed  by  simply 
changing  the  weight  on  the  counterbalancing  end  of  the  lever,  as  explained  in 
our  printed  instructions  for  managing  the  apparatus. 

It  will  be  seen  that  by  this  arrangement,  although  the  boiler  has  capacity 
equal  to  warming  the  whole  building,  yet  it  may  be  made  to  burn  at  a point 
only  sufficient  to  warm  a portion,  say  one  or  two  rooms,  with  a proportionate 
diminution  of  fuel  and  expenses. 

OUR  AUTOMATIC  WATER-FEEDER, 

is  another  very  important  attachment  to  the  Steam-Boiler,  and  no  low-pressure 
apparatus  is  complete  without  it.  Its  mechanism  is  very  simple,  consisting  of 
a float,  lever  and  valve,  within  a small  iron  inclosure,  as  seen  at  the  right  on 
the  boiler,  Figs.  24  and  42,  and  at  the  left  in  Figs.  5 and  6.  Its  object  is  to 
supply  the  boiler  with  the  amount  of  water  lost  therefrom  by  evaporation  or 
otherwise.  The  float  is  globular,  made  of  very  fine  sheet-copper,  and  brazed 
air-tight.  While  the  water  stands  at  the  proper  height,  the  buoyant  power  of 
the  float,  acting  on  a long  lever,  presses  an  elastic  Valve-seat,  fixed  to  the  short 
arm  of  the  lever,  against  a smooth,  thin  edge  of  the  pipe  through  which  the 
water  is  to  run  into  the  feeder,  and  so  prevents  the  ingress  of  the  water.  When 
the  water  falls  below  the  proper  point,  the  float  also  falls,  raising  the  short  arm 
of  the  lever  and  the  valve-seat,  and  allowing  the  water  to  run  into  the  feeder 
and  thence  into  the  boiler;  till  it  again  raises  the  float  and  shuts  itself  off.  It  is 
necessary  to  the  operation  that  the  pressure  of  the  water  supply  be  greater  than  the 
pressure  in  the  boiler,  otherwise,  when  the  valve-seat  rises,  the  water  would 


BAKER , SMITH  & CO .,  NEW  YORK  AND  CHICAGO.  35 

run  out  of  instead  of  into  the  boiler,  were  it  not  for  the  check-valve  put  in  the 
supply-pipe  near  the  feeder  to  prevent  it,  as  it  is  the  hydrostatic  pressure  of  the 
supply  over  the  pressure  of  the  steam  that  is  depended  upon  to  force  the  water 
into  the  boiler.  A stop-cock  in  the  supply-pipe,  just  below  the  check-valve,  is 
to  be  used  to  regulate  the  water  by  hand  in  case  of  necessity. 

SIMPLE  AND  EASY  TO  MANAGE. 

In  an  apparatus  like  ours,  which  regulates  its  own  draft  to  the  tire,  its  own 
draft  of  cold  air,  its  own  supply  of  water,  its  own  heat,  its  own  limit  of  steam  ; 
there  is  little  left  for  the  coachman,  the  “kitchen  girl"  or  the  porter  to  attend 
to.  To  be  sure,  they  should  put  on  coal  when  required,  change  the  tire  draft 
weight  “according  to  the  weather,”  clean  up  the  ashes,  and  keep  things 
generally  in  order.  This  requires  but  little  attention,  and  no  “ engineering  ” 
skill  whatever.  Among  all  the  hundreds  of  our  apparatuses  thus  intrusted  to 
“domestic  help"  during  the  past  twenty  years  we  have  yet  to  hear  of  a 
serious  accident. 

SAFETY. 

With  regard  to  its  features  of  safety  we  will  here  remark  that,  independent  of 
the  perfect  control  of  the  tire,  which  we  accomplish ; independent  of  the 
large  and  reliable  escape  for  all  accumulation  of  steam  above  a very  slight  pres- 
sure; independent  of  the  enormous  pressure  which  every  part  of  our  apparatus 
is  capable  of  sustaining,  each  of  which  is  a reliable  safeguard,  we  attach  to  the 
boiler  a sufficient  quantity  of  steam-condensing  surface  to  dispose  of  nearly  all  the  steam  the 
boiler  is  capable  of  making.  This,  in  point  of  safety  from  explosion,  is  equivalent 
to  having  the  steam  carried  off  into  the  open  air  as  fast  as  generated. 

As  to  its  absolute  safety  from  fire,  nothing  can  be  more  apparent  upon  an 
examination  of  the  manner  in  which  the  fire  of  the  boiler  is  inclosed  in  brick- 
work or  heavy  iron,  and  kept  remote  from  all  surrounding  objects  of  an  inflam- 
mable nature.  The  dangerous  conditions  attending  every  description  of  hot-air 
furnaces  and  some  steam  apparatuses  are  avoided  in  this.  The  temperature  of 
our  steam-pipes  is  never  high  enough  to  char  even  the  finest  and  most  ignitable 
substance.  This  is  easily  tested.  The  danger  from  tire  in  the  use  of  steam  de- 
pends altogether  upon  the  temperature  of  the  pipes  in  which  it  is  confined,  and 
that  temperature  (in  common  use)  depends  upon  the  amount  of  pressure  of 
steam  in  those  pipes. 

The  temperature  of  pipes  (depending  on  their  thickness,  &c. ) is  about  40 
degrees  lower  than  that  of  the  steam  within  them  ; and  the  temperature  of  the 
air  as  it  leaves  our  radiators  is  about  60  degrees  lower  than  that  of  the  pipes.

DURABILITY. 

This  very  important  matter  is  apt  to  be  overlooked  in  the  selection  of  a 
heating  apparatus.  The  question  of  its  heating  capacity — whether  it  “heats 
enough”  is  usually  the  paramount  one  ; and  in  most  instances  is  the  only  ques- 
tion taken  into  consideratioh.  The  heating  apparatus  is  as  indispensable  to  a 
dwelling-house  as  its  windows  and  walls,  and  why  should  it  not  be  required  to 
be  as  durable  ? 

A really  durable  apparatus  must  of  necessity  be  expensive  in  comparison 
with  one  that  is  not  durable.  But  this  fact  is  generally  ignored,  and  the  lowest 
bidding  competitor  gets  the  job,  and  the  customer  gets  cheated. 

The  reason  why  durability  is  a distinctive  feature  of  our  work,  is  explained 
in  the  description  of  the  different  parts  of  our  apparatus. 

FUEL  SAVING. 

As  in  the  matter  of  durability,  this  important  subject  is  seldom  taken  into 
proper  account.  It  is  the  fire  that  through  the  long  winter  hours  draws  on  the 
coal-bin  and  the  purse  of  its  owner  for  its  expensive  food,  which  (like  the  human 
heart)  imparts  warmth  and  life  to  the  inhabitants  of  “the  house  we  live  in.” 

An  apparatus  whose  fire  products  are  wasted  up  chimney,  instead  of  being 
utilized  in  warming  the  building,  may  be  a very  dear  acquisition,  although  its 
first  cost  was  small , and  be  to  the  possessor  like  an  elephant,  which,  as  a gift, 
might  be  tolerated,  were  it  not  for  furnishing  the  food  it  must  eat.  The  cost 
consequent  on  a needless  consumption  of  fuel  may  soon  go  far  towards  the  pur- 
chase of  a new  apparatus.  Following  are  named  some  of  the  principal  condi- 
tions, peculiar  to  our  apparatus,  operating  to  economize  fuel. 

The  perfect  automatic  regulation  and  absolute  control  of  the  draft  to  the 
fire,  causing  it  to  burn  just  in  proportion  as  heat  is  wanted,  according  to  the 
varying  conditions  of  the  weather  and  the  wishes  of  the  occupants  of  the  house; 
the  water  of  the  condensed  steam,  still  hdt,  returning,  of  its  own  gravity,  to  the 


BAKER , SMITH  & CO.,  NEW  FORK  AND  CHICAGO.  37 


boiler,  there  to  be  reconverted  into  steam — consequently  not  exhausting  the  fire 
to  heat  cold  water ; and  the  construction  of  our  boilers  so  as  to  insure  the  most 
perfect  absorption  of  the  caloric  of  the  fuel  in  the  generation  of  steam,  and 
burning  the  coal  at  its  lowest  point  of  combustion. 

These,  and  other  conditions  spoken  of  in  the  description  of  our  safety 
boiler,  combine  to  produce  in  our  apparatus  a degree  of  economy  which  can 
hardly  be  excelled. 

In  proof  of  this  we  can  refer  to  numbers  of  instances  where  we  have  been 
called  upon  to  remove  the  boilers  of  others  and  substitute  ours,  for  the  purpose 
of  saving  fuel ; and  the  subsequent  experiences  of  the  owners  fully  justified  the 
expense  of  the  change.  These  instances  have  been  most  frequent  with  boilers 
constructed  of  cast  iron,  which,  of  necessity,  have  fire  surfaces  of  such  thick- 
ness and  disproportion  as  to  allow  the  heat  from  the  fire  to  pass  up  chimney, 
rather  than  be  absorbed  in  generating  steam. 

NOISELESS. 

In  ordinary  steam-heating  arrangements,  the  continual  noise  occasioned  by 
the  collision  of  steam,  air,  and  the  water  of  condensation  within  pipes  which 
are  so  small  as  not  to  allow  these  antagonistic  elements  to  separate,  is  very 
objectionable.  This  “hammering  noise"  is  obviated  in  our  apparatus,  the 
pipes  being  of  such  size  and  run  in  such  positions  as  to  preclude  the  pos- 
sibility of  such  an  annoyance  when  properly  managed. 

HEALTHY  HEAT. 

The  warm,  gentle  breath  of  summer,  far  removed  from  all  contdminating 
influences,  is  our  pattern  for  heat  in  living  apartments. 

Whenever  the  atmosphere  is  made  unnaturally  dry,  it  will  shrink  wood- 
work, and  also  dry  the  human  skin,  cause  headache,  and  many  other  ills. 

The  deleterious  exhalations  from  hot-air  furnaces  and  stoves,  mingled  with 
the  air  we  breathe,  will  produce  irritation  of  the  throat,  inflammation  of  the 
lungs,  and  a long  train  of  physical  evils.  We  have  many  testimonies  to  these 
facts  from  our  customers  (especially  from  the  ladies),  who  have  had  the  expe- 
rience of  comparison,  by  actual  use,  of  our  apparatus  with  others.  One  of  our 
customers,  writing  of  our  apparatus  which  has  been  in  use  for  25  years,  after 
speaking  of  its  superior  qualities,  says  : “I  think  it  peculiarly  adapted  to  inva- 
lids suffering  from  pulmonary  affections,  as  my  husband,  though  a confirmed 
invalid,  frequently  remarked  that  he  breathed  more  comfortably  than  he  had 
done  in  previous  years,  and  believed  that  he  had  transferred  to  his  own  house 
the  genial  air  of  a more  southern  clime.” 

Pure  In-door  Air. — What  consistent  husband  or  parent  would  be  deterred 
by  the  expense  from  providing  for  his  dwelling  that  which  conduces  more  to 
health  and  real  happiness  than  any  one  thing  else — especially  to  the  family  who 
pass  the  most  of  their  time  within  doors  ? Thousands  of  dollars  are  spent  for 
that  which  is  of  no  real  value,  by  those  who  cannot  “afford”  the  most  essen- 
tial comfort  of  life — cannot  “afford,”  either  for  himself  or  “the  dear  ones  at 
home,  ” pure,  natural  air  to  breathe. 

Pure  Air  is  better  medicine  than  doctors  can  give. 


38  WARMING  AND  VENTILATING  APPARATUS 


FREE  FROM  GAS  AND  SMOKE. 

The  noxious  and  poisonous  gases  and  smoke  unavoidably  escaping  into  the 
house  in  the  use  of  hot-air  furnaces,  with  their  brittle  cast-iron  fire  chambers, 
having  numerous  joints  for  the  deadly  products  of  combustion  to  leak  through, 
are  entirely  avoided  in  our  apparatus.  Our  chambers  of  clean,  moderately 
heated  steam  surfaces,  located  at  a distance  from  the  fire,  of  course,  are  free 
from  these  very  objectionable  features. 

WILL  NOT  INJURE  WOODWORK  AND  FURNITURE. 

The  same  condition  of  the  atmosphere  within  a house  which  acts  to  the 
detriment  of  persons,  operates  similarly  to  the 'injury  of  things.  The  wood- 
work, walls  and  ceilings,  and  the  furniture,  drapery,  pictures,  &c. , of  rooms 
become  dingy,  shrunken  and  often  cracked  and  spoiled  in  winter  by  ordinary 
heaters,  viz.,  hot  air  furnaces  and  stoves.  This  is  due  to  the  unnatural  dry- 
ness of  the  atmosphere,  and  the  admixture  of  smoke  and  ashes,  the  inevitable 
results  of  these  means  of  heating  ; and  all  attempts  to  counteract  such  effects 
by  evaporating  water  have  generally  resulted  in  an  excess  of  moisture  deposited 
on  the  furniture,  &c.,  thereby  creating  an  evil  greater  than  the  one  sought  to 
remedy. 

Our  apparatus,  as  seen  by  its  construction,  cannot  leak  gas  nor  ashes  ; and 
the  temperature  of  the  radiating  surfaces  is  not  high  enough  to  dispossess  the 
atmosphere  of  its  natural  moisture,  nor  in  any  way  heat  it  beyond  a healthful 
point. 

VENTILATION. 

The  operation  of  our  apparatus,  when  applied  on  the  plan  of  indirect  radia- 
tion, as  explained,  necessarily  involves  ventilation  of  the  most  thorough  kind. 
We  cannot  warm  by  this  system  without  producing  a constant  change  of  air 
in  the  apartments,  supplying  them  with  pure  warmed  air  and  expelling  that 
which  is  coolest  and  most  impure,  to  an  extent  commensurate  with  the  require- 
ments. It  is  this,  simply,  that  constitutes  ventilation. 

The  exit  of  air  from  the  rooms,  in  ordinary  cases,  is  sufficiently  provided 
for  in  the  fire-places  when  left  open.  But  in  school  buildings,  hospitals  and 
places  where  more  thorough  and  positive  ventilation  is  required,  we  force  the 
operation,  by  heating  the  ventilating  flues  by  coils  or  with  steam-pipes  run  their 
entire  length  ; by  fan-blowers,  driven  by  power,  and  by  other  means  suited  to 
the  requirements  of  the  case. 

There  is  an  entire  absence  of  the  means  for  ventilation  in  most  buildings, 
both  public  and  private.  Provisions  for  ventilation — we  might  also  add  for 
warming — are  almost  the  only  things  in  the  construction  of  buildings  that  are 
left  to  chance.  When  measures  are  taken  to  meet  the  requirements  for  pure 
air,  they  are  usually  so  abortive  or  meagre  as  to  thwart  the  object  desired,  and 
are  more  prolific  of  failures  than  of  successes. 

A distinguished  physician  says:  “Bad  air  is  a slow  poison;  that  is  the 
trouble.  People  go  on  taking  it  into  their  lungs,  day  after  day  and  night  after 
night;  they  grow  pale;  their  lungs  suffer;  the  circulation  is  languid ; they 
take  cold  readily ; the  chest,  the  stomach,  the  skin  become  disordered,  and  a 
host  of  chronic  diseases  attack  them.  A little  carbonic  acid,  taken  every  day, 
does  not  kill  a man.  It  is  almost  a pity  it  doesn’t. 


BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  NEW  YORK  AND  CHICAGO.  39 


“ If  a red-hot  stove  or  a furnace  destroyed  instantly  one  man  in  every  town 
daily  for  a week,  there  might  be  some  salvation  for  the  nation.  If,  instead  of 
fainting  away  in  crowded  and  badly  ventilated  public  assemblies,  people  occa- 
sionally died  outright,  the  authorities  would  take  the  matter  in  hand,  and  make 
it  penal  for  the  owners  of  such  buildings  to  open  them  for  public  use  without 
attending  to  the  proper  conditions  for  the  preservation  of  health.  When  a 
thing  is  only  a s/ow  poison,  the  age  is  in  too  much  of  a hurry  to  attend  to  it.” 

SPECIAL  ATTACHMENTS, 

Where  desired  and  when  specially  ordered  we  construct  our  apparatus  so 
as  to  produce  results  far  superior  to  those  usually  expected  from  steam  or  hot 
water  heating  apparatus.  But  as  this  involves  additional  cost  in  construction, 
and  as  our  apparatus  is  already  burdened  beyond  that  of  any  other  by  the 
adoption  of  improvements,  we  do  not  include  these  special  attachments  in 
our  estimates  except  by  request. 

MIXING  COLD  AND  WARM  AIR. 

In  both  our  steam  and  hot  water  apparatuses,  where  the  heating  is  by 
means  of  indirect  radiation,  we  sometimes  arrange  the  heating  surfaces,  flues 
and  air  ducts,  so  that  by  moving  a lever  similar  to  a bell-pull  in  any  room,  the 
temperature  of  the  air  admitted  to  that  room  can  be  regulated  with  the  greatest 
nicety,  independently  of  that  of  any  other  room,  and  without  diminishing  the 
volume  of  air  passed  into  the  room.  This  allows  the  most  thorough  A^entilation 
at  all  times,  whether  much  or  little  heat  is  required. 

COMBINED  STEAM  AND  HOT  WATER  HEAT. 

We  sometimes  add  to  our  steam  apparatus  heating  surfaces  filled  with  water 
which  circulates  by  the  heat  of  the  boiler  fire.  These  surfaces  are  enclosed  and 
supplied  with  air,  which,  after  being  warmed,  is  delivered  into  the  house  through 
flues  and  registers  supplementary  to  those  of  the  regular  apparatus.  This  ar- 
rangement gives  a moderate  flow  of  warmed  air  to  the  halls  and  important  rooms 
so  long  as  there  is  any  heat  in  the  water  in  the  boiler,  which  is  long  before 
and  after  the  fire  is  in  condition  for  making  steam. 

AUTOMATIC  AIR  MOISTENER. 

It  is  a well  known  fact  that  the  capacity  of  the  atmosphere  for  holding 
moisture  is  lessened  in  proportion  as  its  temperature  is  lowered,  and  vice  versa. 
Hence  the  atmosphere  of  winter  is  less  humid  than  that  of  summer.  The 
atmosphere  of  summer  has  its  thirst  (if  we  may  so  speak)  supplied  by  evapora- 
tion from  the  earth  and  its  watery  expanses,  while  the  winter  atmosphere, 
deprived  of  those  sources  of  humidity,  is  compensated  for  the  loss  of  moisture 
by  being  much  more  dense,  thus  still  affording  our  lungs  the  proper  atmospheric 
requisites  by  the  substitution  of  a concentration  of  quantity  for  quality.  But 
when  we  interfere  with  this  natural  condition  of  winter  air,  as  we  are  compelled 
to  do  in  artificially  heating  it,  and  thus  proportionably  augment  its  deficiency 
of  moisture,  this  deficiency  should  be  made  good  by  some  artificial  process, 
whereby  a corresponding  supply  of  moisture  is  furnished  to  the  heated  and 
rarefied  air.  This  is  a very  nice  and  difficult  result  to  obtain. 


40  WARMING  AND  VENTILATING  APPARATUS. 


Our  process  for  effecting  this  desired  object  fully  meets  the  requirements. 
It  consists  of  sectional,  conical-shaped  self-supplying  vessels  of  water,  so  posi- 
tioned in  the  current  of  warmed  air  that  the  velocity,  temperature  and  hygro- 
metrical  requirements  of  the  air  itself  regulate  the  amount  of  evaporation  and 
impart  to  the  heated  air  the  exact  quantity  of  humidity  demanded  by  its  winter 
condition.  The  necessity  for  this  addition  is  not  so  much  required  by  our  ap- 
paratus as  by  others  (for  reasons  before  mentioned),  and  our  apparatus  is  com- 
plete without  it ; yet  its  desirableness  fully  warrants  the  extra  outlay  attending 
its  attachment. 

SPECIALLY  EFFECTIVE  VENTILATION. 

In  addition  to  fire-places  ordinarily  used  as  ventilators,  we  sometimes  pro- 
vide other  flues,  and  insure  a strong  outward  current  in  them  by  heating  them 
either  by  the  introduction  of  steam  pipes,  coils  or  burning  gas  jets ; by  connect- 
ing the  flues  with  large  ventilators  on  the  roof;  or  exhausting  the  air  by  means 
of  fans  driven  by  power. 

GENERAL  REMARKS. 

By  the  foregoing  descriptions  it  will  be  seen  that  our  work  differs  essentially 
from  that  of  others ; is  very  simple,  and  peculiarly  applicable  to  domestic  pur- 
poses. Our  business  is  principally  erecting  our  steam  and  water  apparatuses 
for  warming  and  ventilating  private  dwellings,  banks,  offices,  school  buildings, 
churches,  green-houses,  etc.,  where  the  management  must  be  within  the  ca- 
pacity of  ordinary  servants,  porters  and  other  attendants  on  the  premises. 
Although  we  pay  special  attention  to  this  deparment  (a  branch  of  business  of 
our  own  creation),  where  superior  work  and  peculiar  construction  are  requisite, 
we  still  do  everything  in  the  line  of  common  steam-work,  such  as  erecting 
boilers,  steam-pipe,  radiators,  etc.,  in  stores,  public  buildings,  factories,  green- 
houses, steamboats,  &c. , &c.  In  fact,  we  do  everything  in  any  way  pertaining 
to  steam  or  water  heating  and  ventilating. 

We  frequently  erect  our  apparatuses  in  houses  and  buildings  already  finished, 
removing  other  heaters  that  may  be  in,  using,  in  most  instances,  the  same 
flues,  doing  this  with  little  or  no  inconvenience  to  the  occupants.  Spring  and 
summer  are  the  most  suitable  seasons  for  this  class  of  work  to  be  done. 

Our  prices  for  apparatus  cannot  be  definitely  stated,  as  they  must  vary  with 
the  great  dissimilarity  of  our  work. 

By  reason  of  recent  improvements,  and  our  increased  facilities,  we  are,  how- 
ever, enabled  to  erect  a better  apparatus,  and  at  a much  lower  price  than 
formerly.  No  other  party  can  compete  with  us  in  this  respect. 

To  give  an  idea  of  the  wide  range  of  our  prices,  we  will  state  that  we  have 
erected  complete  apparatuses,  in,  private  dwellings,  for  as  low  a price  as  three 
hundred  dollars,  and  as  high  as  ten  thousand  dollars.  In  offices  and  public 
buildings,  we  have  done  complete  jobs  as  low  as  two  hundred  dollars,  and  as 
high  as  sixty  thousand  dollars. 

Our  brief  description  has  been  in  general  terms  rather  than  otherwise, 
from  the  fact  that  our  apparatuses,  although  on  the  same  system,  are  very  dis- 
similar in  construction,  varying  according  to  the  differently  constructed  build- 
ings in  which  they  are  erected,  and  the  various  conditions  under  which  they 


BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  NEW  YORK  AND  CHICAGO.  41 

are  required  to  operate.  Owing  to  lack  of  space  we  have  omitted  even  mention- 
ing many  parts  which  we  consider  essential  in  a first-class  apparatus. 

In  the  construction  of  our  work  we  adhere  strictly  to  the  rule  to  allow  no 
material  but  of  the  most  substantial  kind.  In  the  formation  of  the  necessary 
joints,  we  admit  nothing  more  perishable  than  the  iron  itself.  Although  we 
may  occasionally  lose  a job  for  want  of  discrimination,  on  the  part  of  the  pur- 
chaser. between  a well  made  and  a poorly  constructed  apparatus,  we  believe 
our  interest  lies  in  rejecting  all  work  that  cannot  be  done  in  such  a manner  as 
will  insure  satisfaction  to  our  customers  and  credit  to  ourselves. 

Unlike  almost  everything  else  connected  with  the  construction  of  buildings, 
the  heating  apparatus  has  no  settled  basis  of  merit,  as  the  employment  of  steam 
and  water  for  heating  purposes  is  comparatively  new.  The  apparatuses  erected 
by  differeni  parties  are  altogether  dissimilar,  both  in  their  principles  and  con- 
struction, hence  the  price  of  one  is  no  criterion  for  that  of  another. 

We  wish  it  understood  that  warming  and  ventilating  by  steam  or  hot-water 
is  legitimately  and  exclusively  our  business.  We  do  not  occasionally  take  jobs  of 
this  kind  “merely  to  fill  in.” 

We  employ  no  agents,  nor  do  we  sell  any  of  our  patent  rights,  so  that  an 
inexperienced  party  in  the  business  can  throw  disrepute  on  our  apparatus  by 
bad  work.  Although  we  are  erecting  our  work  in  every  part  of  the  United 
States  and  the  Canadas,  we  personally  superintend  it  all. 

Our  mechanical  departments  are  most  thoroughly  organized  and  systema- 
tized, and  we  manufacture  every  part  pertaining  to  our  apparatus  ; hence  we 
are  enabled  to  promptly  fill  large  orders,  and  at  the  lowest  price  compatible 
with  good  work. 

Our  establishment,  we  believe,  for  mechanical  appliances  and  extent,  is  not 
equaled  by  any  other  of  the  kind  in  the  world. 

We  shall  take  great  pleasure  in  exhibiting  our  work  in  the  process  of 
manufacture  to  all  who  may  favor  us  with  a call.

LETTERS  OF  RECOMMENDATION. 


-N-  B. — Our  space  will  not  permit  the  insertion  of  many  letters 
from  our  customers.  We  (jive  a sufficient  number  to  indicate  the 
practical  results  obtained  by  the  use  of  our  apparatus. 


New  York,  March  18,  1805. 

MESSRS.  BAKER.  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — Your  note  requesting  my  opinion  of  your  Heating  Apparatus  was  read  by 
my  wife,  who  asked  me  if  I had  answered  it,  and  upon  my  replying  “Not  yet,”  she  exclaimed 
with  earnestness: 

“Let  me  reply  to  it.” 

“ Why,  what  would  you  say  ?”  I asked. 

“Say!”  she  responded  with  vehemence,  “ say  every  Unity  that  can  b • said  in  its  favor.  Say 
that  I have  a chronic  thioat  complaint,  and  that  for  the  ten  years  I have  lived  North  I never 
breathed  any  heated  air  without  difficulty  until  last  winter.  Say  that  you  can  have  a balmy 
June  atmosphere  in  December.  Say  that  neither  myself  nor  any  one  of  my  live  children  have 
had  a cold,  or  a sore  throat,  or  a doctor's  bill  to  pay  since  that  heater  has  been  in  the  house. 
Say  that  I would  not  be  without  it  for  any  money,  and  that  a person  who  has  any  difficulty 
about  breathing  and  doesn’t  have  that  heater,  if  he  can  get  it,  is  a confounded ” 

How  much  higher  her  climax  would  have  reached  in  her  great  appreciation  of  your  Appa- 
ratus I do  not  know;  but  as  I considered  that  she  had  “ covered  the  case,”  I stopped  her  and 
said  that  I would  answer  the  note  myself. 

I can  only  add  to  her  testimony  that  I have  had  an  experience  with  various  kinds  of  heaters 
and  furnaces  for  more  than  a quarter  of  a centnry,  and  that  before  I decided  that  your  heater 
was  the  best  in  the  market,  I had  made  a thoroughly  practical  and  scient  fic  investigation  of  the 
subject.  I felt  the  necessity  of  some  kind  of  heating  apparatus  that  would  enable  my  wife  to 
endure  our  winter  climate.  I selected  your  heater,  and  have  every  reason  to  be  satisfied  with 
my  choice. 

For  its  simplicity  of  arrangement,  its  facility  of  attention  (owing  to  the  automatic  fire- 
damper  and  self-adjusting  cold  draft),  its  total  freedom  from  danger  from  fire  or  explosion,  or 
any  other  cause,  the  perfection  of  its  ventilation,  its  economy  of  fuel,  and  the  softness  and  purity 
of  its  atmosphere.  I have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  it  will  give  entire  satisfaction  to  every 
one,  and  that  it  is,  in  all  respects,  far  superior  to  any  other  heating  and  ventilating  apparatus. 

Yours,  etc.,  W.  J.  A.  FULLER,

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

I can  add  nothing  to  what  I wrote  fifteen  years  ago  in  commendation  of  your  Heating 
Apparatus.  Experience  has  more  than  confirmed  my  views  then  expressed.  I have  used  your 
apparatus  in  my  stores  and  dwelling-houses,  six  in  all.  and  they  have  given  perfect  satisfaction. 
I should  as  soon  think  of  living  without  pure  air  as  to  be  without  your  Heatdr.  For  health, 
comfort,  and  economy  of  fuel,  no  apparatus  can  com)  are  with  yours.  I have  tried  others  to 
my  cost  and  regret.  For  good,  honest,  durable  work,  that  will  cost  next  to  nothing  to  keep  in 
repair,  I am  sure  that  nothing  yet  invented  will  bear  a comparison  with  your  Heating  and 
Ventilating  Apparatus. 

Yours  truly,  W.  J.  A.  FULLER.

MESSRS.  BAKER.  SMITH  & CO. : 

Gentlemen, — In  reply  to  your  request  for  information  as  to  the  condition  of  the  Heating 
Apparatus  which  you  put  in  my  house  in  July,  1805,  I would  say  that  the  boiler  and  all  connec- 
tions are  in  excellent  condition  now.  The  use  has  been  at  least  seven  months  in  each  year  since 
1865.  The  boiler  has  never  leaked,  and  the  furnace  bars  have  been  renewed  but  twice.  The 
consumption  of  fuel  is  about  100  lbs.  daily  during  the  season.  There  is  every  day.  at  times,  20

lbs.  pressure  by  the  gauge.  The  heat  is  furnished  through  the  house  both  by  direct  and  indirect 
radiation,  and  is  abundant  for  all  requirements.  I have  had  considerable  experience  in  heating 
premises  by  steam,  and  I certainly  give  your  system  the  preference  over  any  other  that  I 
know  of. 

JOHN  T.  WILSON,

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  <fc  CO., 

Dear  Sirs,— Should  you  at  any  time  wish  to  use  my  name  as  reference  in  testifying  to 
the  excellence  of  your  “Low-Pressure  Steam  Warming  and  Veutilating  Apparatus,”  it  shall 
afford  me  great  pleasure  to  give  to  any  one  inquiring,  my  sincere  commendations  of  same, 
and  my  assurances  of  the  entire  satisfaction  your  work  in  my  house  has  given  me. 

We  find  it  a great  comfort  to  have  your  Steam  Apparatus  in  the  house,  giving  a pleasant 
heat  and  one  which  is  easily  regulated;  the  apparatus  itself  being  much  cleaner  and  giving 
less  trouble  than  any  ordinary  hot-air  furnace. 

Very  respectfully  yours,  HENRY  WALLACH,

New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — I can  cheerfully  add  my  word  of  commendation  in  favor  of  your  Steam 
Heating  Apparatus.  It  was  ph.ced  in  my  house  when  building,  some  eleven  years  ago,  and  it 
has  been  tested  from  that  lime  until  the  presei  t.  The  result  is  satisfactory.  We  have  an 
abundance  of  mild  and  summer-like  warmth  in  the  coldest  weather,  in  every  part  of  the  house. 

Truly  yours,  ROBERT  M.  STREBEIGH, 

7 East  Forty-fifth  Street. 


103  West  Forty-third  Street,  New  York,  July  26,  1880. 
MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

The  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  placed  in  my  house  nine  years  ago.  gives  entire  satisfaction. 
Two  radiators  (in  halls)  heated  our  whole  house  nearly  all  of  last  winter.  We  seldom  use  more 
than  these  two  radiators.  The  Apparatus  requires  but  lhtle  care,  and  consumes  no  more  coal 
than  an  ordinary  furnace. 

Very  respectfully,  E.  B.  SHAFER. 


New  York.  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO. : 

Gentlemen, — It  is  eighteen  years  since  you  put  your  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating 
Apparatus  in  my  dwelling.  It  has  given  me  entire  satisfaction  ; and  for  warming  and  ventila- 
ting purposes,  1 have  no  hesitation  in  saying  it  is  the  best  Apparatus  it  has  been  my  fortune 
to  meet  with. 

Very  respectfully  yours,  WM.  II.  SMITH, 

24  East  Fifty-sixth  St. 

New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — St.  Bartholomew’s  Church  and  Rectory,  corner  of  Madison  Avenue  and 
Forty-fourth  Street,  are  heated  and  ventilated  by  two  low  pressure  Steam  Apparatuses  erected 
by  you.  The  Church  building  is  of  large  dimensions,  situated  on  corner  of  street,  and  conse- 
quently more  exposed,  yet  the  entire  space,  including  vestry,  chancel  and  auditoiinm,  has  been 
thoroughly  warmed,  and  t same  time  venti  ated,  during  the  coldest  weather  of  the  past  eight 
winters,  without  assistance  from  any  other  source. 

A noticeable  feature  in  your  system  is  the  entire  absence  of  the  fumes  of  gaseous  escape- 
ments so  common  to  hot-air  furnaces.  The  warmth  imparted  by  the  Apparatus  is  mild, 
agreeable  and  summer-like,  and  equally  distributed,  besides  being  easily  managed  and  eco- 
nomical in  fuel. 

The  entire  arrangement  has  given  full  satisfaction  to  the  Rector,  Vestry  and  Congregation. 

Ilespec'  fully  yours,  JACOB  REESE, 

Treasurer. 

New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO. : 

Gentlemen, — Never  feeling  safe  from  fire,  and  never  free  from  the  poisonous  escape  of 
gas  from  one  of  the  best  Hot-Air  Furnaces,  I had  it  removed  and  one  of  your  Low-Pressure 
Steam  Warming  Apparatuses  put  in  my  house  in  its  place,  and,  for  the  years  I have  had  it  in 
use,  it  has  given  me  entire  and  most  perfect  satisfaction.  Easily  managed  by  any  one,  the 
heat  is  most  delightfully  regulated  in  mild  or  very  cold  weather,  and,  in  my  opinion,  it  is  the 
best  and  most  healthful  apparatus  in  use,  and  as  such  most  cheerfully  recommend  it. 

Yours  truly,  W.  G.  READ.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMI  III  & CO.,  New  York: 

Rear  Sirs, — I have  had  your  Steam  Apparatus  in  use  for  more  than  twelve  years,  and 
find  it  entirely  satisfactory — not  liable  to  get  out  of  order — not  requiring  much  care,  and  eco-

Esteemed  Friends, — During  the  past  seventeen  years  1 have  used  your  Steam  Heating 
Apparatus  to  warm  my  dwe’ling-house,  No.  40  East  Twenty-first  Street,  and  I am  pleased  to 
say  that  my  family  as  well  as  myself  have  always  been  entirely  satisfied  with  it.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen.  I have  used  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  in  our  (Edward  Matthews)  office 
buildings  for  many  years,  and  can  say  that  I deem  them  .safer  and  fully  as  economical  as  any 
heater  now  in  use. 

I have  also  used  your  Improved  Healing  Apparatus,  together  with  Steam  Pump,  in  my 
dwelling-!!'  use  in  Orange,  N.  J . and  take  pleasure  in  pronouncing  the  whole  togethe  • perfect, 
and  something  that  no  first -class  dwelling  should  be  withoui. 

Very  tru'y  yours,  WATSON  MATTHEWS,

New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  A CO.: 

Gentlemen,  The  Portable  Steam-Pumping  arrangement  put  up  by  you  in  several  of  my 
buildings  gives  ihe  most  entire  satisfaction.  I have  had  many  other  arrangements  for  pumping 
in  my  various  stores  and  office  buildings  of  this  city,  but  not  one  that  could  lie  run  as  cheaply 
and  as  satisfactor.ly  as  this.  It  throws  an  inch  and  a quarter  stream  of  water  ninety-five  feet 
high  on  thirty  pounds  of  coal  per  day.  This  arra  gement  ha  now  been  in  use  for  over  twelve 
years,  ami  has  cost  scarcely  anything  for  repairs. 

Respectfully  yours,  EDWARD  MATTHEWS. 


New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSKS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Dear  Sirs — When  constructing  our  building,  No.  50  Wall  Street,  this  city,  in  1873,  we 
contracted  for  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus,  and  have  thus  far  found  it  to  give  great 
satisfaction. 

Yours  truly,  ALEX.  I.  KOCII, 

Secretary  United  -tab's  Mort  gage  Co. 


New  York,  March  21,  1865. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  <fc  CO.: 

Gentlemen,— You  ask  my  opinion  of  your  system  of  warming  and  ventditing,  as  com- 
pared with  others.  I most  cheerfully  comply,  and  if  anything  I can  say  will  induce  a single 
family  to  avail  themselves  of  it,  or  any  school  committee  to  adopt  its  use,  I shall  feel  that  I 
have  been  of  service  to  such. 

I have  given  the  subject  of  warming  and  ventilating  much  attention,  and  from  experience 
I unhesitatingly  say  that  steam,  as  applied  by  your  plan,  is  at  once  the  most  safe,  convenient, 
effectual,  and  Imalihful  of  any  or  all  modes  of  producing  ariificiul  heat  that  1 have  examined. 

The  health  of  my  family  has,  for  a number  of  years,  been  such  as  to  induce  me  to  spare  no 
pains  or  expense  to  secure  the  most  healthful  and  effectual  system  of  heating  my  dwelling,  and 
I have  used  various  kinds  of  hot-air  furnaces,  and  discarded  them  all  in  turn,  on  account  of 
their  pernicious  influence  upon  health,  to  say  nothing  of  the  wasteful  and  extravagant  use  of 
fuel.  I believe  it  is  impossible  to  construct  a hot-air  furnace  so  that  it  will  lie  free  from  dust, 
gas  and  smoke  or  to  manage  one  so  that  it  will  not  destroy  the  vitality  of  the  air  by  passing 
over  an  over- heated  surface 

SiDce  I have  adopted  the  use  of  your  plan,  all  these  obje  tions  are  obviated.  The  heating 
surfaces  are  so  far  removed  from  the  heating  source,  that  it  is  impossible  to  contaminate  the  air 
with  these  deadly  influences,  and  as  the  heating  surfac  e is  never  greater  than  about  212°,  the 
air  must  remain  pure. 


BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  NEW  YORK  AND  CHICAGO.  4 5 


Another  and  very  important  feature  in  your  apparatus  is  its  perfect  self-regulation,  giving 
out  heat  in  just  the  quantity  desired  and  at  the  time  it  is  needed,  without  depending  upon  the 
servants  or  others,  and  thus  economizing  fuel,  and  adding  to  the  comfort  of  the  family. 

The  hot-water  apparatus,  in  its  best  mode  of  application,  is  one  step  in  the  right  direction, 
still,  it  is  accompanied  with  objections  which  untit  it  for  domestic  use. 

It  is  impossible,  in  a communication  of  this  sort,  to  hint  at  all  the  points  of  excellence  of 
the  one,  or  the  objection  to  the  other,  suffice  it  to  say,  that,  in  my  opinion,  when  the  value  of 
pure  air  is  fully  appreciated,  your  “ Low-Pressure  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  ” will  as  surely 
supersede  all  other  methods  of  warming  and  ventilating,  as  gas  now  does  that  of  other  artificial 
light. 

After  using  your  apparatus  six  years,  I can  only  add  that  it  more  than  realizes  my  ex- 
pectations. 

Very  respectfully  yours,  etc.,  A.  S.  JEWELL,

Gentlemen,— Your  note  of  the  24th  asking  an  expression  of  my  opinion  as  to  your  L.  P. 
S.  W.  and  Y.  A.  I would  say  that  I have  had  your  Apparatus  in  use  in  my  house  for  very 
many  years,  I believe  among  the  first,  if  not  the  very  first  you  put  up  in  the  State  of  New 
Jersey,  and  it  has  ever  given  entire  satisfaction.  I would  refer  you  to  my  letter  to  you  soon 
after  the  Heater  was  put  in  operation,  and  I would  say  that  I have  no  cause  to  change  the 
good  opinion  therein  expressed. 

Very  truly  yours,  A.  S.  JEWELL.

Dear  Sirs, — In  reply  to  your  favor  of  24th,  in  relation  to  the  Steam  Heater  you  furnished 
for  my  house  in  1871,  would  say  that  it  has  proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  satisfactory  heating 
apparatuses  that  I have  ever  seen.  Although  my  house  is  in  the  country  and  not  supplied 
with  water,  we  have  very  little  trouble  with  it,  as  it  is  a simple  matter  to  pour  in  a bucket  of 
water  in  the  morning,  and,  during  the  coldest  days,  one  in  the  evening.  I cheerfully  recom- 
mend this  heater  as  one  of  the  best  in  u-e. 

Yours  truly,  0.  W.  GRAVES.

46  WARMING  AND  VENTILATING  APPARATUS. 


New  York,  July  26.  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO., 

Gentlemen, — It  has  several  times  become  my  privilege  to  write  to  you  of  your  “Steam 
Warming  Apparatus.”  I have,  from  my  own  experience,  been  pleased  to  speak  of  it  in  high 
terms,  always  commending  it  to  the  favor  of  not  only  the  public,  but  to  my  most  intimate  friends. 
After  using  it  for  nineteen  winters,  with  complete  success,  I am  more  ready  than  ever  to  speak 
in  its  praise.  I have  warmed  my  four-story  and  basement  house  comfortably,  with  an  average 
consumption  of  not  more  than  eight  and  one-half  tons  of  coal  each  winter. 

I remain  yours  most  truly,  R.  B.  CURRIER, 

31  West  Thirty-eighth  S.reet. 


New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — Your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  put  into  my  house  in  1864,  has  worked  very 
satisfactory  for  sixteen  years— not  costing  an  average  of  three  dollars  per  year  for  repairs  during 
that  time. 

My  house  is  26%  feet  by  65  deep— have  never  required  any  other  fire  except  for  cooking 
range,  and  my  rooms  have  been  heated  to  70°  and  over  during  the  coldest  weather. 

One  of  my  servant  girls  takes  charge  of  running  it. 

I regard  your  apparatus,  with  proper  bottom  ventilation  for  the  different  rooms,  as  the 
most  perfect  method  of  heating  known  at  the  present  time. 

Respectfully  yours,  SAME.  S.  CONSTANT,

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  A CO.: 

Gentlemen,— It  affords  me  great  pleasure  to  express  my  entire  satisfaction  with  your  Low- 
Pressure  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus.  Having  used  it  in  my  house  for  thirteen 
years,  I am  prepared  to  give  it  my  hearty  commendation,  it  being  in  my  judgment,  the  best  in 
use. 

Yours  truly,  J.  B.  CORNELL,

New  York,  November  28,  1879. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — In  reply  to  your  inquiries  as  to  the  facts  already  ascertained  respecting  the 
Heating  Apparatus  furnished  by  you  for  warming  the  new'  Armory  of  the  Seventh  Regiment, 
and  particularly  with  regard  to  the  results  obtained  in  the  large  drill  room,  I would  say: 

Our  building  occupies  the  block  bounded  by  66th  and  67th  Streets  and  Park  and  Lexington 
Avenues,  and  its  general  dimensions  are  200  x 400  feet.  The  amount  of  air  to  be  warmed  in 
the  building  is  4,620,772  cubic  feet.  This  does  not  include  the  walls.  The  clear  inside  dimen- 
sions of  the  drill  room  are  187  x 288  feet,  the  height  varying  from  35  feet  at  the  walls  to  90  feet 
in  the  centre.  The  actual  amount  of  air  in  this  room  is  3,620,772  cubic  feet.  Iain  informed 
this  is  the  largest  room  in  the  country  ever  attempted  to  be  thoroughly  warmed.  The  radiators 
are  all  located  at  the  sides  and  ends  of  the  room  (187  feet  across  the  building  between  them), 
leaving  the  floor  entirely  clear. 

On  the  coldest  day  of  the  season,  when  the  thermometer  outside  was  reported  17  degrees 
above  zero,  and  a very  high  wind  blowing,  with  only  about  one-half  of  your  radiators  in  opera- 
tion, the  temperature  was  68  degrees  in  the  middle  of  the  room,  and  also  at  part  most  remote 
from  the  boilers,  at  height  of  five  feet  above  the  floor,  and  the  room  was  somewhat  warmer  in 
the  cetnre  than  near  the  radiators.  There  are  large  quantities  of  glass  in  the  roof,  ami  we 
naturally  expected  unpleasant  draughts,  but  there  were  none.  The  temperature  above  given 
was  in  the  day-time,  when  comparatively  but  few  ersons  were  in  the  building,  and  no  gas  was 
lighted,  and  large  doors  were  being  constantly  opened. 

The  apparatus  is  noiseless  and  is  able  to  warm  the  building  with  less  than  two  pounds 
pressure  of  steam  on  the  boilers.  From  what  I have  seen  I am  satisfied  we  shall  obtain  all  the 
heat  desired. 

Very  truly  yours,  etc.,  EMMONS  CLARK, 

Col  Com.  7th  Regt.  N.  G.  S.  N.  Y. 


New  York.  Aug.  7,  1881. 

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — I have  now  used  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  in  my  house  (396  Fifth 
Avenue)  .or  more  than  eighteen  years.  The  great  satisfaction  it  has  given  me,  and  the  im- 
proved health  and  comfort  it  has  conferred  upon  myself  and  family,  lias  prompted  me  to  write 
you,  and  give  you  and  the  public  my  mature  experience. 

The  advantages  of  your  Apparatus  over  all  other  modes  of  heating  dwellings  and  buildings 
of  all  kinds  are  three-fold  and  as  follows,  viz. : 

1.  It  diffuses  throughout  the  house  a heat  charged  with  an  amount  of  humidity  which 
enables  all  the  organs  to  perform  their  functions  in  a healthful  and  perfect  manner;  it  gives 


BAKER , SMITH  & CO .,  NEW  YORK  AND  CHICAGO.  47 


to  the  lungs  those  elements  whi<!h  are  required  for  a perfect  and  natural  oxydization  of  the 
blood,  and  thus  contributes  materially  towards  the  production  of  auimal  heat,  the  circulation  of 
the  blood  and  an  increased  vitality.  While  the  hot-air  furnace  consumes  the  natural  moisture 
of  the  atmosphere,  and  thus  forces  the  individual  to  inhale  a dry  and  impaired  air,  your  Appa- 
ratus preserve ' the  air  in  the  same  condition  which  nature  presents  us  with  in  the  pure  open 
air — an  atmosphere  of  pure  oxygen  and  nitrogen,  and  charged  witn  a due  quantity  of  humidity, 
or  oxygen  and  hydrogen. 

It  has  often'  been  observed  that  the  average  Englishman  and  woman  are  more  robust, 
stout,  and  better  able  to  bear  a srreater  amount  of  exercise  and  fatigue  than  the  average 
American  man  and  woman.  This  is  undoubtedly  true,  and  it  is  owing  to  the  greater  amount 
of  humidity  in  the  atmosphere  of  England  than  in  the  dryer  atmosphere  of  the  United  States. 
This  rule  applies  not  only  to  man,  but  to  the  entire  animal  and  vegetable  kingdom.  Under  the 
same  conditions  of  temperature,  the  grass,  the  shrubs  and  the  trees  of  England  are  much 
greener  and  retain  their  greenness  and  vitality  to  a much  greater  extent  than  obtained  in  this 
country. 

This  natural  law  applies  with  equal  force  to  houses  heated  by  steam-heating  and  dry  heat- 
ing furnaces.  The  former  affords  us  the  pure  and  salubrious  atmosphere  of  nature,  while  the 
latter  dries  us  up  with  an  unnatural  and  vitiated  air. 

We  have  often  observed  the  effects  of  these  steam  heaters  in  our  families,  and  we  have 
found  that  they  are  really  important  factors  in  enhanciug  their  health,  comfort  and  happiness. 

A second  advantage  which  attaches  to  this  apparatus  consists  in  the  comfort  which  a natu- 
ral and  equable  atmosphere  affords  to  those  who  inhale  it.  Many  of  the  ailments  which  proceed 
from  an  atmosphere  heated  by  the  hot-air  furnace,  like  neuralgia,  headache,  vertigo,  debility, 
etc.,  are  entirely  avoided  by  the  steam  heater. 

Thirdly,  from  an  economical  point  of  view,  the  steam  apparatus  is  superior,  in  the  long 
run,  to  t he  old-fashioned  furnace,  because  the  former  will  last  and  work  well  for  twenty  or  more 
years,  while  the  latter  will  require  removal  or  renovation  two  or  three  times  during  this  period. 

Every  industrial  improvement  which  enhances  the  sanitary  condition,  the  comfort  and  the 
happiness  of  the  people,  should  receive  a just  appreciation  and  generous  encouragement  and 
patronage  from  the  public.  No  trouble  or  reasonable  expense  should  be  spared  to  secure  the 
highest  possible  londition  of  health,  comfort  and  longevity;  and  those  who  ignore  and  neglect 
to  avail  themselves  of  all  sound  sanitary  recourses  within  their  reach  aie  “pennywise  and 
pound  fo'  lish,”  for  health  is  the  great  foundation  stone  of  all  success  in  life,  and  the  only  true 
source  of  human  happiness. 

It  has  been  well  said  that  whoever  makes  a valuable  invention,  calculated  to  promote  the 
welfare  and  happiness  of  his  fellow-creature,  and  by  enterprise  and  industry  presents  it  to  the 
public  for  practical  use,  is  a public  benefactor. 

Gentlemen,  in  the  invention  and  general  introduction  of  your  admirable  method  of  heating 
dwellings,  you  have  well  fulfilled  this  condition,  and  are  justly  entitled  to  the  appellation  of 
public  benefactors. 

Very  truly  yours,  E.  E.  MAKCY,  M.D.,

N.  B. — 'When  in  Europe  two  years  ago,  I examined,  with  considerable  care,  the  house 
heating  contrivances  of  England,  France  and  Germany,  and  I am  quite  certain  that  there  is 
nothing  in  either  one  of  these  countries  which  can  be  compared  with  your  Apparatus,  in  health- 
fulness and  all  other  desirable  qualities.  It  would  be  a philanthropic  and  probably  profitable 
enterprise  to  introduce  your  excellent  Steam  Heaters  into  these  countries.

Gentlemen, — I have  used  one  of  your  Steam  Heaters  for  many  years,  which  was  easy  to 
manage,  and  gave  entire  satisfaction. 

Desiring  another  for  another  house  I examined  different  kinds,  but  found  none  which  I liked 
as  well  as  yours,  especially  for  durability  and  safety.  Your  arrangement  for  the  evaporation  of 
water  into  the  warmed  air  is  a great  improvement,  which  no  one  should  do  without.

Gentlemen, — In  reply  to  your  request,  I would  say  that  I have  had  one  of  your  Steam 
Heating  Apparatuses  in  my  house  for  many  years,  and  have  found  it  entirely  satisfactory,  not 
only  in  giving  us  all  the  heat  required,  but  in  kind,  being  balmy  and  pleasant.

Gentlemen, — I have  used  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  for  warming  my  house  for 
several  years,  to  my  entire  satisfaction,  with  hut  one  exception.  While  it  generates  all  the 
heat  we  require,  and,  indeed,  much  more,  the  air  is  too  dry.  If  the  recent  attachment  for 
moistening  the  air,  which  you  have  completed  in  my  house,  answers  the  purpose,  your 
method  of  heating  buildings  of  any  kind  is  certainly  very  effective,  pleasant  and  desirable.

only  economical,  but  easily  managed,  and  attended  with  but  little  expense  in  keeping  in  order. 
I think  it  is  the  best  thing  of  the  kind  in  use.

Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen,— Eighteen  years  ago  you  put  your  Low-Pressure  Steam  Apparatus  in  my 
dwelling-house.  It  operated  so  entirely  to  my  satisfaction  that  I could  not  do  otherwise  than 
put  another  in  my  present  house,  No.  34  Monroe  Place,  where  I have  had  an  experience  of 
seven  winters  with  it.  There  is  much  room  to  heat  in  the  house  I now  occupy,  including  a 
billiard  and  carriage  rooms,  in  which  steam  has  to  be  carried  underground  some  sixty  feet. 
For  cleanliness,  comfort  and  healthfulness  it  is  certainly  admirable,  and  strongly  in  contrast  with 
hot-air  furnaces,  stoves,  and  the  like.  Were  we  to  warm  the  various  rooms  by  fires  within 
them,  or  by  any  other  system,  the  consumption  of  fuel  must  be  far  greater  than  with  your 
Apparatus— saying  nothing  about  the  dirt  involved,  and  the  small  army’  of  servants  required  to 
carry  up  the  fuel  and  take  down  the  ashes. 

I cheerfully  recommend  you  and  your  system  to  the  public. 

Yours  truly,  AUGUSTUS  STORRS.

desire  to  say  that  the  heater  warms  the  house  comfortably  to  my  satisfaction,  its  operation 
is  simple  and  easy  of  management,  and  it  requires  less  time  and  attention  than  any  heater  l 
ever  saw.

Warming  Apparatus  in  my  dwelling-house  for  the  past  fourteen  years.  It  has  ever  per- 
formed everything  required  of  it  with  perfect  satisfaction,  and  has  never  cost  me  anything 
for  repairs.  The  heat  produced  by  it  is  free  from  sulphurous  smell  or  excessive  dryness, 
being  moist,  healthy  and  summer-like.  It  gives  me  pleasure  to  recommend  it  either  for  pri- 
vate or  public  buildings.

am  well  pleased  with  the  result.  I have  been  enabled  to  keep  the  temperature  of  my  house  at 
any  required  degree,  and  to  raise  or  lower  the  same  with  a facility  which  I believe  to  be  impos- 
sible with  a hot-air  furnace.  The  freedom  from  dust,  quality  of  heated  air  furnished,  ease  of 
regulating,  and  economy  of  fuel,  render  it  well  adapted  for  beating  country  houses. 

Respectfully  yours,  JAMES  W.  TODD.

New  York,  Oct.  10,  1874. 

MESSRS.  BAKER.  SMITH  & CO.: 

Dear  Sirs,— It  is  with  pleasure  that  I can  give  testimony  in  favor  of  your  Heating  Appa- 
ratus you  placed  in  my  house  at  New  Brighton,  Staten  Island,  eleven  years  ago.  My  house  is 
very  large,  and  on  elevated  ground  : we  leave  all  the  doors  on  the  inside  open,  and  have  no 
difficulty  in  keeping  every  part  of  the  house  very  comfortable.  The  thermometer  ranges  in  24 
hours  from  60°  to  72°.  In  the  morning,  before  the  fires  are  replenished,  60°  is  the  lowest 
point.  I have  in  the  attic  three  water  tanks;  they  are  never  frozen,  neither  are  the  water- 
pipes  which  conduct  the  water  to  various  parts  of  the  house.  I have  recommended  your  Heat- 
ing Apparatus  to  many  of  my  friends. 

Yours  very  respectfully,  DANIEL  LOW,

favor  of  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus. 

After  ten  years’  trial  I cannot  say  too  much  in  its  favor.  In  its  management  it  is  extremely 
simple,  and  with  my  experience,  I can  testify  as  to  its  perfect  safety,  even  with  the  greatest 
carelessness  or  willful  bad  management.  The  heat  is  very  uniform,  and  can  be  regulated  to 
any  degree,  and  with  entire  freedom  from  obnoxious  gases. 

Very  truly  yours,  S.  R.  VAN  DUZER. 


Middletown,  Orange  Co.,  N.  Y.,  July  26, 1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — Yours  of  the  6th  inst.  came  to  hand.  Having  used  your  Steam  Heating  and 
Ventilating  Apparatus  for  about  thirteen  years,  I speak  knowingly  when  I say  that  it  has  all 
the  merits  you  claim  for  it  and  more;  for,  through  forgetfulness,  it  has  twice  been  red  hot  for 
want  of  water,  and  that  without  any  damage  or  apparent  injury  to  the  heater.  Three  new  sets 
of  grate  bars  have  been  all  the  repairs  needed  since  you  set  it  going.  I am  perfectly  satisfied 
with  it. 

Very  truly  yours,  WILLIAM  CLEMSON.

Apparatus  in  our  house  for  nine  years.  It  is  all  you  recommend.  You  served  me  just  as  you 
agreed;  and  the  work  was  only  exceeded  by  your  honorable  dealings.

Gentlemen, — You  ask  how  I am  pleased  with  the  operation  of  your  Steam  Heating  Appa- 
ratus in  my  house.  It  has  been  in  use  eight  years,  giving  entire  satisfaction.  My  house  is  47x71 
feet,  three  stories.  In  the  cellar  are  seven  indirect  radiators,  and  eleven  direct  radiators  in 
other  parts  of  the  house,  giving  a uniform  heat,  easily  controlled.  Besides  the  pleasant  uniform 
heat,  another  great  advantage  over  the  hot-air  furnaces  is  the  freedom  from  dust,  as  we  get  no 
I dust  from  your  mode  of  heating. 

Very  truly  yours,  URI  GILBERT.

Troy,  N.  Y.,  March  3,  1870. 

BAKER,  SMITH  &.  CO.  : 

Gents,— I have  used  your  Steam  Heating  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  during  the  past  six 
winters.  Our  winters  are  severe,  with  little  interruption,  and  the  lire  scarcely  ever  goes  out 
during  the  season.  The  apparatus  warms  and  ventilates,  steadily,  a space  of  35,000  cubic  feet, 
and  at  times  other  portions  of  my  house,  with  an  average  consumption  of  sixteen  tons  of  coal  a 
winter.  This  space  in  a corner  building,  as  mine  is,  would  have  required  two  large  furnaces, 
aud  consequently  more  fuel.  The  ventilation  I regard  as  the  best  feature  of  your  apparatus; 
the  purity  of  the  air  discharged  through  the  heating  stacks  adds  immeasurably  to  the  comfort  of 
all  in  the  house;  this  appliance  alone  renders  your  apparatus  desirable  to  those  who  value  fresh 
air  and  plenty  of  it. 

Yours  truly,  JOHN  B.  PIERSON.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Your  favor  8tli  at  hand.  You  are  at  liberty  to  so  modify  my  letter  in  regard  to  your  Steam 
Apparatus,  referred  to  as  of  date  3d  March,  1870,  in  such  way  as  will  express  my  renewed  confi- 
dence in  your  system.  It  has  been  in  use  just  sixteen  years  in  our  house,  and  is  more  satisfac- 
tory the  longer  we  use  it.  I let  the  steam  from  our  street  mains  in  our  piping  last  winter,  so 
arranging  the  connections  that  I can  use  your  generator  at  will.  1 find  the  new  departure  very 
convenient,  as  we  are  of  course  free  from  the  care  of  fires  and  the  slight  annoyances  incident 
thereto. 

Your  work  has  given  us  great  satisfaction,  and  is  to-day  practically  as  good  as  when 
put  in. 

Truly  yours,  etc.,  J.  B.  PIERSON.

Gents, — Your  Warming  and  Ventilating  Low-Pressure  Steam  Apparatus  has  been  the  sole 
reliance  for  warmth  in  my  house  for  the  past  fourteen  winters.  The  ventilating  features  I con- 
sider a great  improvement  over  other  systems.  It  renders  the  atmosphere  of  the  house  the 
most  agreeable  and  healthy,  with  an  economical  consumption  of  fuel.  My  house  was  formerly 
warmed  by  an  apparatus  of  which  all  the  radiating  surfaces  were  placed  directly  within  the 
rooms.  I much  prefer  yours.  The  longer  I use  your  apparatus  the  better  I like  it. 

Yours,  FRANCIS  S.  THAYER.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  <fe  CO.: 

Before  contracting  for  your  Steam  Apparatus,  we  visited  Boston  and  New  York,  to  make 
thorough  inquiry  as  to  the  best  mode  of  heatin  r,  with  power.  After  consulting  many,  who 
were  considered  the  best  informed,  we  selected  yours.  Its  use  for  more  than  ten  years  has 
given  entire  satisfaction.

Gf.nts, — The  Steam  Heater  you  put  up  in  my  house  works  admirably.  I would  not  change 
it  for  any  known  method  of  heating.  It  is  perfection  itself. 

Yours  respectfully,  MRS.  E.  OWEN. 


Ilion,  N.  Y.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — Yo  1 desire  to  know  how  I like  my  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  put  into  my  resi- 
dence by  you  eight  years  ago.  I answer  with  pleasure,  that  I had  serious  misgivings  about 
any  indirect  steam-heating  method  being  a success  in  the  country,  especially  in  exposed  situa- 
tions. You  will  know  that  my  house  is  more  than  ordinarily  subject  to  the  lull  blast  of  our 
icy  western  and  north-western  winds,  penetrating  through  anything  that,  so  far  as  I know,  has 
been  • evised  to  guard  against  them.  With  a strong  west  or  northwest  wind,  and  the  thermo- 
meter at  15°  or  20°  below  zero  (a  not  unfrequent  thing  with  us  here),  it  requires  a thoroughly 
effective  apparatus  to  warm  comfortably  the  whole  house.  Yours  does  it;  I have  used  it  for 
eight  winters,  and  I have  had  no  difficulty  in  keeping  warm.  With  the  improvements  which  you 
have  put  into  my  Apparatus,  I am  sure  that  an  increased  efficiency  and  a smaller  consumption  of 
fuel  will  be  the  result;  and  I would,  right  here,  say  that  such  impr  vements  were  entirely 
unsolicited  by  me,  and  were  voluntarily  introduced  by  you  without  expense  to  me.  I mention 
this  for  two  reasons:  first,  to  indicate  that  I had  no  fault  to  find  with  your  Heater;  and 
secondly,  that  I consider  the  offer  on  your  part  to  introduce  these  improvements,  at  your  own 
expense,  as  a very  honorable  and  gentlemanly  thing.  In  fact,  I may  say  truthfully,  that  your 
entire  dealings  with  me  have  been  in  the  highest  degree  honorable  and  satisfactory.  Of  the 
superiority  of  a Steam  (indirect)  Heating  Apparatus  over  a furnace  or  a steam  (direct)  method, 
I will  say  nothing — there  is  simply  no  comparison.  One  winter’s  experience  would  render 
any  one  disgusted  with  a furnace,  and  not  much  less  so  with  a direct  steam  method. 

With  my  Apparatus  I always  have  pure  and  healthy  air,  than  which  nothing  is  more  in- 
dispensable. 

In  conclusion,  I heartily  recommend  your  firm  and  your  Apparatus  to  any  one  desiring  a 
durable,  safe,  economical  and  effective  Heating  Apparatus.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — The  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  which  you  put  into  the 
house  of  the  late  Judge  Denio,  in  1867,  continues  to  give  entire  satisfaction.  From  our  old 
furnaces  we  got  but  little  air,  and  that  was  thick  with  poisonous  gases.  Now  we  are  abso- 
lutely free  from  these  gases,  and  enjoy  thorough  ventilation.  The  consequence  has  been  a 
comparative  freedom  from  headaches,  nervous  depression,  and  the  like  ailments.  Before, 
some  of  our  rooms  were  scarcely  affected  by  the  furnaces,  while  the  rest  were  like  ovens.  Of 
course,  we  were  seldom  free  from  colds  in  the  winter.  The  whole  house  is  now  kept  at  a 
moderate,  even  temperature  without  trouble.  I strongly  recommend  your  apparatus  on  the 
grounds  of  health  and  comfort. 

Very  sincerely  yours,  L.  A.  TOURTELLOT,  M.D.

Gentlemen, — After  having  used  your  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus,  in  my 
dwelling,  for  eleven  years,  I take  pleasure  in  saying  that  I believe  it  to  be  the  best  heating,  and 
only  perfect  ventilating  apparatus  in  this  country.

Gentlemen, — After  using  your  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  in  my  house 
for  the  last  nine  years,  I can  only  say  that  it  has  proved  more  satisfactory  than  I had  any  rea- 
son 10  believe  it  would.  I do  most  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  the  public  as  the  best  in  use. 

Respectfully  yours,  L.  A.  SWARTHOUT.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — 1 can  say  that  the  Steam  Heater  you  put  into  my  house,  293  Madison  Avenue, 
over  fifteen  years  ago,  has  worked  perfectly  ever  since,  and  has  needed  no  direct  repairs.  I do 
not  call  the  extension  of  the  pipes  and  setting  new  boiler,  seven  years  ago,  repairs. 

The  furnace  works  as  well  as  ever,  burning  the  coal  all  to  tine  ashes  and  leaving  no  cinders. 
T consider  that  this  heater  has  saved  me  largely  in  coal  bills,  and  more  largely  yet  in  ttie  matter 
of  headaches,  from  the  effects  of  hot-air  furnaces  formerly. 

Yours  truly,  FRED.  F.  THOMPSON. 


Rochester,  N.  Y.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — I have  used  in  my  bouse  the  last  nine  years  one  of  your  Low-Pressure  Steam 
Heating  Furnaces  with  great  satisfaction,  warming  both  pleasantly  and  efficiently. 

By  means  of  coils  of  pipe  in  the  cellar,  to  which  the  outer  air  is  conducted,  and  then  de- 
livered through  registers  in  the  floor  of  the  rooms  in  the  first  story,  we  have  secured  adequate 
ventilation  for  those  rooms.  The  very  substantial  character  of  the  apparatus  has  made  only 
very  slight  repairs  needful. 

Respectfully  yours,  W.  B.  DOUGLAS. 


Rochester,  N.  Y.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  <fc  CO. : 

Gents, — The  Heating  Apparatus  put  into  our  building  by  you  some  ten  or  twelve  years 
since,  has  given  us  entire  satisfaction.  It  requires  but  little  attention ; and  for  economy  of  fuel, 
and  efficiency  of  service,  it  has  no  superior. 

I take  great  pleasure  in  bearing  testimony  to  its  excellence,  and  most  cordially  recommend 
it  to  all. 

Yours  respectfully,  J.  E-  PIERPONT,

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — You  ask  me  to  give  you  the  result  of  our  experience  in  heating  my  house 
with  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus.  I do  so  cheerfully,  as  it  has  been  a pleasure  in  our 
household  for  the  past  fourteen  winters.  With  but  little  liability  to  get  out  of  order,  feeding 
itself  with  water,  modifying  its  heat  in  accordance  with  the  state  of  the  weather,  it  really  seems 
to  lack  only  the  power  to  supply  itself  with  coal  to  be  perfect.  It  has  been  entirely  satisfactory 
in  heating  and  ventilating  our  house,  and  I remain 

Truly  yours,  W.  H.  GLENNY.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Gentlemen,— In  reply  to  your  favor  24th  instant,  just  received,  I will  say  I have  used  your 
Steam  Heating  Apparatus' at  my  residence  for  the  past  thirteen  years,  and  it  has  given  us  per- 
fect satisfaction  in  every  respect. 

Respectfully,  GEO.  R.  POTTER.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — Your  Low-Pressure  Self-Regulating  Steam  Apparatus  has  been  my  sole 
reliance  in  warming  my  house  for  the  last  fourteen  years.  It  gives  me  pleasure  to  assure  you 
of  my  entire  satisfaction  with  it,  giving  a uniform,  agreeable  and  well  ventilated  heat,  easily 
regulated,  tire  keeping  well  through  the  night,  and  quickly  starting  in  the  morning,  and  in 
my  experience,  not  an  extravagant  consumer  of  coal.  In  every  way  it  is  greatly  superior  to 
the  hot-air  furnaces.

Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

I have  used  your  Apparatus  for  warming  my  house  during  the  past  twelve  years.  It  has 
worked  very  well  during  that  time.  I regard  it  as  the  best  known  method  for  warming 
public  and  private  buildings,  and  I take  pleasure  in  commending  it  to  public  favor. 

Very  respectfully,  E.  G.  SPAULDING.

Hamilton,  Out.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — My  house  is  heated  by  your  Heating  Apparatus.  I have  had  seven  winters’ 
experience,  and  I can  say  that  I am  entirely  satisfied,  and  believe  that  your  system  is  superior 
to  any  other  that  I have  seen.  My  house  is  free  from  draughts,  the  air  pure,  and  every  part 
of  the  house  thoroughly  warmed. 

I am,  dear  sirs,  yours  truly,  D.  McINNES. 


Clinton,  Mass.,  July  26,  1880. 

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — I take  pleasure  in  giving  my  testimony  in  favor  of  your  system  and  Apparatus  for 
Warming  and  Ventilating.  I have  given  it  a trial  of  nine  winters  in  my  dwelling  in  this  place, 
and  the  result  is  highly  satisfactory  to  myself  and  family.  The  space  w aimed  consists  of  three 
rooms  and  two  halls  on  the  first,  five  rooms  on  second,  and  four  on  third  stories.  The  atmos- 
phere of  our  house  is  rendered  mild,  genial  and  healthy,  with  an  abundance  of  warmth  and 
ventilation,  much  in  contrast  with  the  old  plans  of  heating,  with  which  we  have  had  con- 
siderable experience.  The  consumption  of  fuel  has  been  fourteen  tons  per  season,  which 
amount  we  do  not  consider  extravagant  for  this  cold  climate.  I consider  your  Apparatus 
substantial,  and  not  liable  to  get  out  of  order. 

The  above  remarks  will  apply  in  like  manner  to  those  of  your  manufacture  in  use  in  our 
Town  Hall  and  School-house. 

Judging  from  the  prices  you  have  charged  me  for  some  alterations,  I do  not  1 hink  you 
would  be  unreasonable  in  case  repairs  were  required.  I understand  that  other  parties  charge 
extravagant  amounts  for  repairs  on  their  own  work.  Were  I to  build  again,  1 should  certainly 
prefer  your  Apparatus  t o any  other. 

Yours  truly,  H.  N.  BIGELOW. 


New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — I have  watched  the  operation  of  your  Steam  Heater  for  eight  years,  and  find  it 
easy  to  regulate,  and  believe  its  capacity  for  heating  equal  to  any  Heater  in  the  world;  while 
the  quality  of  heat  is  superior  to  any  other,  introducing,  as  it  does,  pure  air  into  every  room. 
Feeling  confident  in  recommending  the  above,  I am, 

Respectfully  yours,  E.  ADAMS, 

South  Norwalk,  Conn. 


Boston,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — Your  Furnace  has  now  been  in  use  in  my  house  for  about  nine  years,  and 
I have  found  it  very  satisfactory.  It  is  easily  regulated,  gives  an  agreeable  heat,  and  does  not 
get  out  of  order. 

Your  obedient  servant,  MARTIN  BRIMMER. 


New  Bedford,  Mass.,  Jnlv  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Gents, — Having  substituted  and  used  for  eight  years  in  the  First  National  Bank  your 
Steam  Heating  Apparatus  in  place  of  an  ordinary  cast  iron  furnace,  we  cheerfully  recommend 
it  as  (in  our  opinion)  the  best  system  of  warming  and  ventilating  in  use. 

In  the  coldest  weather  we  have  found  its  capacity  ample,  and  its  operation  effective‘and 
economical.  The  supply  of  air  is  genial,  fresh,  pure,  free  from  the  unhealthy  gases,  burnt  air, 
dust  and  smoke,  so  annoying  from  the  cast  iron  furnace. 

From  the  simplicity  of  its  make,  it  requires  but  little  skill  or  attention  in  its  management, 
and  is  entirely  safe  from  accidents.  Our  enlarged  banking  rooms  heated  by  your  Apparatus 
are  40x50  feet,  and  11  feet  high,  cubic  feet  22,000,  an  unusually  large  radiating  surface  of 
glass,  having  15  windows,  equal  to  superficial  feet,  420.  Average  yearly  consumption  of  coal, 
15)4  tons.  The  old  banking  rooms  measure  11,000  feet  (one-half  the  new),  were  imperfectly 
heated  by  9 tons  of  coal  with  a cast  iron  hot-air  furnace ; while  with  your  Heater,  we  find  In- 
experience that  a genial  temperature  of  70°  can  be  maintained  when  the  external  temperature 
is  about  zero,  even  with  a high  wind  prevailing,  and  the  cold  air  supply,  (which  is  large,  hav- 
ing an  opening  of  960  superficial  inches),  open  full  size.  Regarding  your  Heating  Apparatus 
as  the  best  mode  of  warming  buildings  in  a healthy  manner,  we  again  cheerfully  recommend 
it  to  others,  feeling  convinced  that  no  one  will  grudge  the  increased  expense  after  an  experi- 
ence of  the  increased  comfort  and  economy  it  ensures. 

On  behalf  of  the  Building  Committee, 

J.  C.  DELANO. 


River  Point,  R.  I.,  March  10,  1865. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Gentlemen,— It  affords  me  pleasure  to  inform  you  that,  notwithstanding  the  severity  of 
the  winter,  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  has  operated  to  my  entire  satisfaction. 

Although  the  turnace  which  we  removed  when  we  adopted  your  Apparatus  was  of  modern 


54  WARMING  AND  VENTILATING  APPARATUS. 


and  approved  construction,  the  air  from  it  was  not  deemed  agreeable  or  healthy  for  sitting- 
rooms,  and  we  therefore  maintained  five  other  tires  in  the  main  part  of  the  house,  relying  upon 
the  furnace  for  the  purpose  only  of  warming  the  halls.  The  quantity  of  coal  consumed  in  the 
furnace  during  a winter  was  estimated  to  be  from  twelve  to  fifteen  tons.  The  Steam  Apparatus 
has  required,  I should  say,  something  less  than  eleven  tons  up  to  this  time.  We  have,  there- 
fore, warmed  the  entire  house,  except  the  kitchen  apartments,  with  about  the  same  quantity  of 
fuel  as  was  lormerly  used  for  warming  the  halls  alone,  thus  saving  the  expense  and  trouble  of 
five  fires.  For  the  first  time,  the  house  has  been  perfectly  comfortable  during  the  entire  season; 
the  interior  doors  standing  open  as  in  the  summer.  Although  we  have  never  used  any  but  the 
smallest  weight  on  the  draft  regulator,  we  have  had  an  excess  of  heat  most  of  the  time.  Not- 
withstanding this  exhibit,  however,  1 do  not  consider  economy  the  primary  excellence  of  the 
invention.  Its  chief  value,  in  my  opinion,  is  its  capacity  to  produce  a perfectly  pure,  healthy 
and  agreeable  atmosphere.  I have  also  observed  another  peculiarity  in  the  heat  which  I have 
never  seen  alluded  to,  and  which  I cannot  explain,  viz. : its  diffusive  nature.  There  seems  to 
be  so  little  difference  in  the  temperature  of  different  parts  of  the  room,  that  the  members  of  the 
family  sit  scattered  about  as  regardless  of  the  register  as  if  there  was  no  heat  transmitted 
through  it.  Its  safety  is  probably  its  next  recommendation.  This  fact  seems  to  be  known  to  the 
insurance  companies,  as  the  company  where  I insure  expressed  their  gratification  at  the  substi- 
tution of  steam  for  hot  air,  when  I gave  them  notice  of  the  change.  As  next  in  order,  I should 
commend  the  Apparatus  for  its  cleanliness.  Since  its  introduction  we  have  never  had  a particle 
of  coal  dust  or  any  manifestation  of  coal  gas  in  the  house,  although  we  encountered  both  far 
too  frequently  before.  It  is  evident,  of  course,  that  we  cannot  have  anything  of  the  kind  under 
our  present  arrangement.  I anticipated  considerable  trouble  in  taking  care  of  the  Apparatus; 
but  having  taken  some  pains  to  learn  the  philosophy  of  it  and  its  mechanical  construction  and 
operation,  and  having  given  it  some  personal  attention  when  we  commenced  making  tires,  I 
have  found  no  difficulty  in  its  subsequent  action  or  management.  Our  guests  have  often  ex- 
pressed their  amazement  at  the  genial  character  of  the  heat;  and  the  absence  of  the  parched 
and  dry  sensation  in  the  mouth,  so  common  where  furnaces  are  used,  has  been  frequently 
commented  upon.  Contrary  to  our  intention,  but  as  your  Mr.  Baker  prognosticated,  we  have 
abandoned  the  wood  fire  in  the  library,  and  do  not  intend  to  resume  it  while  your  Apparatus 
works  as  efficiently  and  satisfactorily  as  it  does  now.  I think  that  you  stated  last  summer, 
when  the  job  was  completed,  that  you  had  lost  money  by  the  contract.  Such  being  the  case, 
you  are  at  liberty  to  draw  on  me  for  the  amount  of  the  deficiency. 

Very  truly  yours,  HENRY  HOWARD. 


Providence,  R.  I.,  October  8,  1874. 

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Gentlemen, — I can  only  add  to  my  former  statements,  that  the  Heating  pparatus  con- 
tinues to  work  satisfactorily. 

Truly  yours,  HENRY  HOWARD. 


Providence,  R.  I.,  July  30,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  A CO.,  New  York: 

Gentlemen, — I am  happy  to  inform  you  that  the  slight  renovation  which  was  made  to  my 
Heating  Apparatus  last  season,  by  your  mechanic,  proved  entirely  satisfactory,  and  the  appa- 
ratus continues  to  work  to  my  entire  satisfaction,  as  it  always  has  done.  It  is  so  seldom  the 
case  that  repairs  of  this  kind  are  executed  at  a price  which  is  satisfactory  to  the  party  for  whom 
the  work  is  done,  it  is  a simple  act  of  justice  to  you  to  say  that  your  price  for  this  work  was 
even  less  than  I supposed  the  cost  would  be.  I have  never  had  occasion  to  regret  the  purchase 
of  your  apparatus. 

Truly  yours,  HENRY  HOWARD. 


Framingham,  Mass.,  July  26.  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  <fc  CO.,  New  York: 

Gentlemen, — I am  happy  to  say  that  the  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  you  put  into  my  house, 
102  Columbia  Street,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y..  1860,  I found  to  work  very  well;  and  the  one  put  in  for 
me  at  this  place  in  1870,  with  the  more  recent  improvements,  has  given  entire  satisfaction, 
furnishing  abundant  heat  in  the  coldest  weather. 

Very  respectfully,  WM.  II.  M ELLEN. 


Jersey  City,  July  26,  1880. 

I have  used  for  these  sixteen  years  past  a steam  apparatus  from  the  firm  of  Messrs.  Baker, 
Smith  & Co.  It  has  never  failed  to  warm  comfortably  a large  church  and  a very  large  school. 
Whatever  repairs  are  required  are  very  promptly  attended  to  by  the  said  firm  at  a very  moderate 
price;  therefore  I have  no  hesitation  to  recommend  the  firm  of  Messrs.  Baker,  Smith  A Co.  to 
those  who  seek  for  a safe  and  economical  steam  apparatus.

Dear  Sirs, — My  dwelling  was  provided  nine  years  ago  with  your  Steam  Warming  and 
Ventilating  Apparatus.  1 take  pleasure  in  saying  that  1 cannot  conceiye  of  any  more  perfect 
house-warming  machine.  It  seems  to  me  to  be  safe,  durable,  manageable,  economical  after 
the  first  cost,  and  completely  efficient.  My  family  would  not  readily  consent  to  live  without  it. 
My  neighbors  frequently  remark  the  delightful  temperature  in  which  we  live.  My  servant  sup- 
plies it  with  coal,  otherwise  it  needs  very  little  attention  or  care.  If  any  one  asks  my  opinion 
of  it,  tell  him  what  I here  say.  Part  of  our  large  college  buildings  are  heated  with  your  appa- 
ratus, and  give  satisfaction. 

Yours  very  truly,  J.  S.  SCHANCK,

Gents, — I have  had  in  my  house  at  Montclair,  N.  J.,  for  the  last  sixteen  years,  a Steam 
Heating  Apparatus  of  your  manufacture,  and  it  is  gratifying  for  me  to  certify  that  it  gives  entire 
satisfaction. 

I shall  always  take  pleasure  in  recommending  your  excellent  machine.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — After  eighteen  years’  trial  of  your  Steam  Heater,  I believe  it  to  be  as  near  perfect 
as  any  heating  apparatus  can  be,  both  in  regard  to  healthfulness,  cleanliness,  security  against 
lire,  and  economy  of  coal. 

Respectfully  yours,  Mrs.  E.  L.  WALTON. 


New  York,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO. : 

Gents, — Your  Furnaces,  in  my  opinion,  are  perfect  in  every  way,  and  could  not  be  more 
satisfactory.  Fifteen  years  ago  you  put  in  one  for  me  in  the  house  I then  occupied,  and  I now 
wish  to  say  the  one  furnished  for  my  present  house  works  even  better  than  the  first,  and  I can’t 
conceive  of  anything  for  heating  houses  equal  to  your  plan.  The  air  is  very  pleasant,  and 
always  fresh.  I find  it  economical  and  practical,  needing  little  or  no  care,  and  entirely  free 
from  danger. 

Yours,  JNO.  H.  EVANS,  Ex-Mayor,

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — About  twelve  years  ago  I substituted  your  boiler  for  a cast  iron  one  for 
warming  my  residence  here  and  the  change  has  fully  satisfied  me  of  the  superiority  of  yours, 
not  only  in  the  generation  of  steam,  but  in  economy  of  fuel.  The  automatic  arrangements  for 
regulating  the  draft  and  supplying  water  to  the  boiler  are  excellent  improvements. 

Very  truly  yours,  etc.,  WILLIAM  B DANA.

able Boiler,  substituted  in  my  house  at  Orange,  N.  J.,  in  1873,  for  the  old  form  of  boiler.  I would

Gentlemen, — In  answer  to  your  inquiry  about  the  working  of  your  Steam  Apparatus  in 
my  house,  I have  to  say  that  it  is  perfectly  satisfactory  in  every  respect.  It  is  now  eleven  or 
twelve  years  since  you  put  it  in  my  house,  replacing  at  that  time  a hot-air  furnace,  with  which 
we  had  all  become  disgusted.  But  not  so  with  your  Steam  Heater,  as  we  are  entirely  satisfied, 
and  believe  it  to  be  the  perfection  of  house  heaters.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — I can  most  cheerfully  respond  to  your  request  regarding  your  Steam  Heater.  1 
have  the  same  in  use  you  put  in  for  me  some  sixteen  years  or  more  ago,  and  have  not  been  to 
five  dollars  expense  with  same,  except  for  grates,  in  that  time.  It  performs  all  you  guaranteed 
in  the  heating  of  my  house,  and  I can  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  any  one  desiring  to  heat 
buildings,  for  economy,  cleanliness,  and  above  all,  for  agreeable  heat.

Elizabeth,  N.  J.,  July  26,  1880. 

I have  had  long  and  very  favorable  experience  of  Messrs.  Baker,  Smith  k Co.’s  Steam 
Works,  and  think  that,  in  these  times,  I can  testify  to  nothing  in  their  interest  so  important  as 
to  their  downright  honesty,  and  the  faithfulness  and  capability  of  their  workmen. 

C.  NEWELL. 


South  Amboy,  N.  J.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — Yours,  in  regard  to  efficiency  of  your  Steam  Heating  Apparatus,  is  at  hand. 
I gladly  recommend  them  as  the  best  means  known  of  heating.  I am  using  them  in  both 
house  and  green-house,  and  doing  with  them  what  nothing  else  has  ever  done  for  me. 

Your  obedient  servant,  R.  S.  CONOVER. 


New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  July  1,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  k CO.: 

Gentlemen, — Having  used  one  of  your  Portable  Steam  Boilers  to  warm  my  dwelling  for 
the  last  three  years,  I write  to  say  that  it  has  given  perfect  satisfaction  in  every  respect. 

The  fire  is  easily  kept  over  night,  and  steam  quickly  generated  in  the  morning. 

It  is  so  simple  that  any  ordinary  person  can  manage  it,  and  I believe  it  to  be  most  eco- 
nomical in  the  consumption  of  fuel,  as  it  warms  a large  number  of  rooms  during  a season  with 
a very  few  tons  of  coal. 

Again  1 find  it  almost  entirely  free  from  the  dust  of  coal  and  ashes. 

I cheerfully  recommend  its  use  as  the  best  device  for  warming  our  houses. 

Very  respectfully,  A.  J.  BUTTLER. 


Harrisburuh,  Pa.,  July  26,  1880. 

BAKER,  SMITH  k CO.: 

Gents,— The  writer  has  one  of  your  Portable  Heaters  in  use  at  his  house,  and  it  gives  the 
most  perfect  satisfaction.  The  building  is  33  x 22  front,  and  back  building  40  x 17.  Front  build- 
ing three  stories  and  back  two  stories,  and  all  heated.  Only  ten  tons  of  coal  are  used  a year. 
Fire  is  kept  in  day  and  night  from  early  fall  to  late  spring.  This  heater  will  make  more  steam 
with  less  fire  than  any  the  writer  has  ever  seen. 

W.  O.  HICKOK,  Jr. 


Harrjsburgh,  Pa.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  k CO.: 

Gents,— Allow  me  to  add  my  testimony  with  the  many  in  our  neighborhood  whom  I have 
heard  speak  approvingly  of  your  system  for  creating  artificial  warmth  and  ventilation.  Your 
Apparatus  has  been  the  sole  reliance  for  heat  in  my  house  for  the  past  fourteen  years.  It  has 
never  been  out  of  order,  but  has  at  all  times  given  us  an  abundance  of  pure,  genial,  summer- 
like  air  through  the  entire  house,  consisting  of  sixteen  rooms,  besides  entries,  and  containing 
in  the  aggregate  92,000  cubic  feet  of  space.  The  consumption  of  coal  has  been  an  average  of 
twenty-three  tons  the  season.  We  kindle  our  tire  quite  early  in  the  fall,  and  continue  it  to  the 
last  of  spring.  I cannot  speak  too  highly  in  praise  of  your  Apparatus.  It  has  been  a source  of 
constant  comfort  to  myself  and  family.  During  our  very  severely  cold  seasons,  it  has  warded 
off  colds,  sickness  and  the  doctors. 

With  a due  appreciation  of  your  exceedingly  prompt  and  straightforward  business  transac- 
tions, I remain, 

Truly  yours,  W.  O.  HICKOK,  Sr. 


Eagle  Works,  Harrisburgh,  Pa.,  July  26,  1880. 
MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  k CO.,  New  York: 

Gents, — About  ten  years  ago  I purchased  of  you  a Steam  Generator,  size  No.  22.  Since 
then  I have  put  in  a second  one.  We  run  a sixteen-horse  engine,  making  from  one  hundred 
and  seventy-live  to  two  hundred  revolutions  per  minute;  an  eight-horse  engine,  making  one 
hundred  and  fifty  revolutions  per  minute;  a dry  kiln,  and  a japanning  oven,  carry  from  one 
hundred  to  one  hundred  and  twenty  pounds  pressure.  We  fire  up  at  six  o'clock,  A.  M.,  and 
twenty  minutes  afterwards  have  over  sixty  pounds  pressure;  at  half  past  six  we  blow  two 
long  whistles,  and  a short  one  when  we  start  the  works  at  ten  minutes  of  seven,  when  we 
have  one  hundred  and  twenty  pounds  pressure.  We  blow  the  dust  off  the  generator,  by  the 
perforated  pipes  you  put  in,  every  day  once.  Water  is  supplied  by  a Berryman’s  regulator 


BAKER , SMITH  6*  CO.,  NEW  YORK  AND  CHICAGO.  57 


'{which  is  a charm)  and  a Knowles  No.  2 pump.  One  engine  is  about  fifty  feet  from  the  boiler, 
one  sixty,  the  kiln  thirty,  and  the  oven  at  least  one  hundred  and  twenty.  We  burn  twelve 
hundred  pounds  of  pea  coal  (anthracite)  per  day.  This  is  the  only  fuel  we  use.  Wash  the 
boiler  out  clean  every  Saturday  after  the  tire  is  out  and  everything  cold.  The  valve  in  the  pipe 
that  conveys  the  steam  to  the  larger  engine  about  one  year  ago  was  a patent  Rock  ring  valve. 
This  valve  had  been  closed  when  cold,  and  the  next  morning  at  ten  minutes  of  seven,  when  we 
attempted  to  start  up,  the  heat  had  expanded  the  ring,  and  we  twisted  the  stem  off.  We  at 
once  blew  all  the  steam  and  water  out  of  the  boiler,  opened  the  valve,  cut  out  the  ring,  put  on 
‘ another  valve  in  its  place,  tilled  the  boiler,  tired  up,  and  had  the  works  running  at  fifteen 
minutes  of  eight.  That  we  consider  quick  work.  Our  old  boiler  was  a large  cylinder  boiler. 
We  had  to  bank  our  tire  every  night  except  Saturday,  and  start  it  going  about  half-past  four, 
and  every  Monday  morning  fire  up  at  half-past  one;  it  consumed  about  2,400  lbs.  of  coal  per 
day  when  we  did  not  use  shavings.  The  comparison  you  will  see  is  quite  in  favor  of  your 
boiler. 

Yours  truly,  W.  O.  HICKOK,  Sr. 


Bethlehem,  Pa.,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen. — Twelve  years  ago  I bought  a house  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  thirty-six  feet  front, 
and  three  stories  high,  which  has  your  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  in  the  cellar, 
with  self-acting  water-feeder. 

I name  the  size  of  the  house  to  show'  the  power  of  your  Apparatus.  In  the  coldest  winters 
the  house  has  been  comfortable  throughout,  with  no  trouble  except  to  go  down  to  put  the 
dampers  on  when  too  warm.  No  dust  in  the  house  and  no  danger  of  fire  by  overheating. 

Four  years  ago  I added  two  stories  to  my  house,  making  it  live  stories  high.  In  ordinary 
winters  the  whole  house  is  comfortable,  the  heat  front  the  hall  register  going  up  the  winding 
stairway  to  the  dome  in  the  fifth  story.  I would  recommend  to  every  one  that  can  afford  the 
outlay  to  have  your  Apparatus  added  for  comfort  in  the  winter. 

Yours  truly,  C.  F.  VAN  BLANKENSTEYN. 


Erie,  Pa.,  July  26,  1880. 

Gents, — Y'ou  cau  use  my  testimony  as  to  the  efficiency,  economy  and  durability  of  your 
Heater  in  such  manner  as  you  may  deem  proper.  You  know  how  long  it  has  been  in  my  house. 
Nothing  has  given  out  except  the  grate  bars  occasionally.  It  works  well,  is  easily  managed, 
and  makes  a pleasant  heat. 

Very  respectfully,  M.  COURTRIGHT. 

[Mr.  Courtright’s  apparatus  was  erected  in  the  year  I860.] 


Georgetown,  D.  C.,  July  26.  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — Yours  of  the  24th  instant  was  duly  received  and  contents  noted.  I take 
pleasure  in  saying  that  the  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  you  put  in  my  house  eight  years  ago  is  the 
best  heater  I ever  saw  of  any  kind.  I can  warm  my  whole  house  with  it  ns  quickly  as  I could 
one  room  with  an  ordinary  heating  stove.  It  does  not  take  more  than  two-thirds  the  coal  that 
it  would  to  warm  a house  with  stoves,  and  is  no  more  trouble  to  attend  than  one  common 
“ Morning  Glory”  stove.  The  self-regu'ation  of  draft,  water  and  cold  air  make  it  seem  more 
like  a thing  of  life  than  a heater.  It  wants  attention  only  twice  in  twenty-four  hours  (morning 
and  night).  The  cold  air  taken,  as  it  is,  direct  from  out-doors,  and  passing  into  the  house, 
over  moderately  warmed  steam  pipes  or  heating  stacks,  makes  the  atmosphere  in  the  house 
more  like  a May  morning  than  like  cold  winter  weather — thereby  leaving  very  little  for  the  doc- 
tors to  do  in  your  family.  Besides,  it  is  perfectly  clear  from  the  dust  or  impure  air  of  most  all 
other  heaters.  I would  not  take  three  times  the  cost  of  it  if  I could  not  get  another. 

Very  respectfully, 

Your  most  obedient,  MRS.  F.  P.  SAWY’ER, 

206  Bridge  Street. 

Washington,  July  26,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — Y'our  Heating  Apparatus  in  my  house  has  given  entire  satisfaction.  The  heat  is 
very  pleasant,  and  it  is  less  trouble  than  any  other  that  I know  of.  1 heartily  commend  it. 

Y'ours  very  respectfully,  F.  A.  LUTZ. 


Smithsonian  Institute, 

Washington,  August  23,  1881. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Gentlemen, — Your  letter  of  June  23d  was  duly  received  and  referred  to  General  Meigs, 
Consulting  Engineer  in  the  construction  of  the  New  National  Museum  Building. 

In  returning  your  letter,  General  Meigs  remarks  that  his  “observation  of  the  Heating 
Apparatus  of  the  New  Building  for  the  National  Museum”  convinces  him  “that  it  has  proved, 


5§ 


WARMING  AND  VENTILATING  APPARATUS. 


during  an  exceptionally  severe  winter,  a success.”  ‘Its  economy.”  he  continues,  “can  best 
be  inferred  Irom  the  reports  of  consumption  of  coal  during  the  colder  weather,  when  the  main 
flow  and  return  pipes  had  not  been  clothed  with  non-conducting  material,  and  of  the  consump- 
tion in  the  latter  part  of  the  year,  when  they  had  been  thus  protected,  and  when  the  weather 
was  more  moderate.” 

We  can.  at  any  time,  give  you  a copy  of  the  table  of  coal  consumption  as  referred  to  by 
General  Meigs. 

In  conclusion  the  General  says:  “ I think  the  whole  work  cheap,  etlicient,  and  very  cred- 
itable to  the  manufacturers,  who  were  also  the  designers.  They  were  furnished  with  complete 
plans  of  the  building;  they  made  i heir  own  designs  and  estimates;  they  were  awarded  the 
contract  and  the  result  is  satisfactory.  They,  so  far  as  I know,  share  the  honors  with  no 
others.” 

In  all  that  General  Meigs  states,  I beg  to  say,  I fully  concur,  as  also  do  the  other  members 
of  the  Building  Commission. 

Very  truly  yours,  SPENCER  F.  BAIRD, 

Secretary. 


Whitworth  Female  College, 

Biiookhaven,  Miss.,  May  29,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  <fc  CO.: 

Sirs,— The  Heaters  in  our  new  College,  put  in  by  you,  give  entire  satisfaction.  I would 
not  be  without  them  for  any  reasonable  consideration.  There  is  a great  saving  in  fuel  and 
labor,  and  the  warming  of  the  rooms  is  better  than  by  fire-places  or  stoves.  There  are  some 
advantages  in  fire-places,  but  I preTer  your  Heaters  to  fire-places,  stoves  or  furnaces,  and 
have  tried  them  all. 

Yours  truly,  II.  F.  JOHNSON. 


Cleveland,  Ohio,  July  26,  1880. 

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York  City: 

Messrs.,— Replying  at  first  opportunity  to  the  wish  expressed  in  your  letter  of  24th  inst., 
I state  with  pleasure  : 

That  the  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  made  and  placed  by  you  seven  years  since  in  my 
dwelling-house,  has.  in  every  respect,  proved  most  satisfactory. 

Its  use  has  been  attended  with  the  utmost  possible  comfort  and  enjoyment,  whilst  the 
effectiveness  and  simplicity  of  the  Apparatus,  combined  with  excellent  material  and  thorough 
workmanship,  constitute  indeed  a perfect  Heater. 

Very  respectfully  yours,  .1.  II.  DEVEREUX. 


MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 


North  Western  Savings  Depository, 

160  Summit  Street,  Toledo,  Ohio, 

July  26,  1 880. 


Gents,— Your  water  Apparatus,  designated  as  the  “Office  Warmer,”  has  given  us  the 
most  unbounded  satisfaction  in  every  particular.  Our  banking  room  is  19x65  and  14  feet  high, 
the  Directors’  room  is  15x15}  and  12  feet  high — in  all  about  20,000  cubic  feet  of  air  on  one 
floor.  These  rooms  were  kept  in  the  most  comfortable  condition  through  the  past  six  winters 
by  a small  stove  placed  in  the  rear,  on  the  same  floor,  and  with  the  daily  consumption  of  about 
two  pecks  of  coal.  By  this  arrangement  we  had  the  heat  distributed  at  our  feet  and  in  the 
front  part  of  the  office— as  could  be  done  by  no  other  plan.  We  cheerfully  recommend  it  as  a 
most  economical  and  ingenious  arrangement  for  warming  with  the  apparatus  all  on  the  same 
floor.

Indiana  Hospital  for  the  Insane, 

Indianapolis,  March  11,  1881. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  New  York: 

Gentlemen, — The  Heating  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  constructed  by  you  for  the  new 
Department  for  Women  of  the  Indiana  Hospital  for  the  Insane,  has  now  been  in  use  for  two 
winters,  the  last  the  coldest  on  record,  and  I can,  without  hesitation  or  reservation,  state  that 
in  the  coldest  weather  it  has  never  failed  to  thoroughly  w7arm  the  two  and  one-half  millions  of 
cubic  feet  of  air  contained  in  the  building,  and  at  the  same  time  to  secure  the  most  satisfactory 
ventilation. 

This  result  has  been  accomplished  by  the  use  of  generally  less  than  30  per  cent  of  the 
entire  capacity. 

The  material  and  workmanship  have  been  proven  to  be  thoroughly  good;  but  little  repair 
has  been  needed,  and  there  is  no  question  about  its  durability. 

The  general  plan  is  well  adapted  to  a proper  distribution  of  heat,  and,  notwithstanding 
the  enormous  length  of  the  building,  every  part  is  equally  well  wanned. 

Very  respectfully  yours,  JOS.  G.  ROGERS,  M.D., 

Superintendent.

Indianapolis,  Ind.,  June  8,  1880. 

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Dear  Sirs,— It  gives  me  great  pleasure,  in  answer  to  yours  of  2d  inst.,  to  add  my  testimony 
to  the  completeness  and  perfect  success  of  your  Steam  Heater  placed  in  my  residence  four  years 
since.  Previous  to  its  adoption,  1 spent  much  time  in  the  investigation  of  different  heaters, 
being  thoroughly  impressed  with  the  importance  of  making  a success  if  possible. 

Since  this  is  something  we  cannot  well  afford  to  fail  in,  am  free  to  say  my  expectations  have 
been  more  than  realized.  The  liberality  which  characterizes  your  work  pleases  me  much,  the 
capacity  of  the  heater  is  more  than  ample,  the  workmanship  excellent,  the  mellowness  and 
purity  of  the  heat  perfectly  delightful. 

1 cannot  close  without  alluding  to  the  magnanimity  which  characterizes  your  every  act 
during  our  dealings  together,  for  which  please  accept  the  thanks  of, 

Yours  very  truly,  J.  S.  COND1T. 


Indianapolis,  Ind.,  June  8,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents,— The  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  which  you  put  in  my  dwelling,  627  North 
Madison  Street,  over  four  years  ago,  is  still  in  perfect  repair  and  as  good  as  when  first  put  in, 
as  far  as  I can  see. 

1 have  not  expended  one  cent  for  repairs  on  it  since  it  was  put  in. 

It  is  entirely  satisfactory  in  every  respect,  and  is  the  way  to  warm  and  ventilate  a house. 

Respectfully  yours,  M.  J.  OSGOOD. 


Indianapolis,  Ind.,  May  25,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago,  111. : 

Gentlemen, — The  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  you  placed  in  my  dwelling  some  four  years 
ago  does  its  work  satisfactorily. 

I find  it  easily  managed  (my  servant  girls  attend  it)  and  economical  in  its  consumption  of 
fuel,  seldom  requiring  more  than  one  pound  of  steam  to  keep  all  the  rooms  of  the  house  uni- 
formly at  an  agreeable  temperature. 

Truly  yours,  SILAS  T.  BOWEN. 


Elkhart,  Ind.,  June  5,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO. : 

Gentlemen, — I have  had  your  Steam  Heater  in  use  now  two  winters,  and  am  satisfied  that 
it  is  a superior  mode  of  heating  to  all  others  that  my  attention  has  been  called  to. 

Truly,  J.  R.  BEARDSLEY. 

Richmond,  Ind..  May  26,  1880. 

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago,  111.: 

Gentlemen, — Great  pleasure  it  affords  to  add  my  testimony  to  your  very  valuable  Steam 
Healing  Apparatus,  placed  in  my  house  January,  1876,  having  worked  like  a charm,  to  my  full 
satisfaction;  not  a repair  required  of  any  kind  whatever,  using  less  fuel  than  expected,  managed 
with  no  trouble,  find  the  heat  delightful;  far  exceeds  hot  air,  having  used  the  latter  about  twelve 
years  prior  to  putting  in  steam  by  you. 

I could  ask  no  more  than  I have,  in  warming  my  house. 

I have  recommended  it  in  the  highest  terms  to  all,  and  wish  you  success. 

I am,  very  respectfully,  EDWARD  G.  VAUGHAN. 


Noblesville,  Ind..  October  31,  1879. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO. : 

Gentlemen, — I take  pleasure  in  stating  that  the  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus 
erected  by  you  in  the  Hamilton  County  Court  House  and  Jail  has  proved  to  be  better  than  you 
represented  it  would  be.  There  is  not  the  slightest  difficulty  in  getting  all  the  heat  desired  in 
the  coldest  weather  with  the  lowest  pressure  of  steam,  and  the  ventilation  is  most  satisfactory. 

The  consumption  of  fuel  is  very  small;  indeed,  we  use  no  more  fuel  to  heat  our  large  Court 
House  and  the  Jail,  than  we  formerly  used  to  heat  the  Jail  alone. 

It  is  simple  justice  to  you  to  state  the  satisfaction  expressed  by  all  who  have  knowledge  of 
the  Apparatus  furnished  by  you. 

Very  truly  yours,  &c.,  SYLVANUS  CAREY, 

Prest.  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners.

heartily  recommend  it  to  all  who  desire  a most  economical  and  satisfactory  system  of  warming. 
I am  pleased  to  state  that  it  has  borne  the  test  handsomely,  and  the  most  extreme  weather  led 
us  to  a higher  appreciation  of  the  comfort  it  affords. 

Yours,  &c  , J.  F.  STUDEBAKER.

residence,  No.  3 Waverly  Place,  I can  recommend  it  as  the  best  heating  apparatus  with  which 
I am  acquainted. 

The  apparatus  is  simple  in  its  'construction  and  management,  and  with  the  substitution  of 
your  new  upright  boiler,  it  must  prove  the  perfection  of  steam  heating. 

I have  only  the  most  favorable  reports  from  your  various  heaters  in  use  in  our  city.

satisfaction.

I can  say  that  it  gives  perfect  satisfaction  in  all  respects,  plenty  of  heat,  and  of  the  best 
quality. 

With  respect,  WM.  ALLEN. 


Kemi-er  Hall,  June  9,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

The  Steam  Apparatus  introduced  into  the  school  in  the  year  1878,  has  proved  to  be  a 
great  comfort  in  the  general  diffusion  of  a soft  and  genial  heat  throughout  those  parts  of  the 
building  where  it  is  used — and  is  easily  managed. 

Respectfully,  SISTERS  S.  MARY. 


Racine,  Wis.,  May  22,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago.  111. : 

Dear  Sirs, — The  Portable  Steam  Furnace  which  you  erected  for  me  in  1874  has  been  in 
use  since  that  date,  heating  my  house  of  thirteen  rooms  and  three  large  halls  perfectly,  and 
giving  entire  satisfaction. 

I have  not  expended  to  exceed  ten  dollars  for  repairs  since  it  has  been  in  use.  I would 
not  part  with  it  under  any  circumstances.  It  is  to  all  appearances  as  good  to-day  as  when  it 
was  put  up. 

Yours  truly,  FRED.  WILD. 


Dubuque,  Julv  28,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — After  ten  years’  test  of  your  Hot  Salt-Water  Heating  Apparatus  in  the  Second 
Presbyterian  Church  of  this  city,  I can  very  cheerfully  say  in  its  favor  that  it  works  to  our 
satisfaction,  diffusing  a very  pleasant  and  even  temperature  throughout  the  main  audience 
room. 

The  plan  of  direct  radia  ion  of  the  heat  in  each  pew  gives  especial  satisfaction,  requiring 
but  65°  to  make  the  room  comfortable.  We  also  find  it  very  economical  in  fuel. 

I regard  it  as  the  best  method  for,  and  especially  adapted  to,  churches,  where  heat  is  not 
constantly  kept  up. 

Respectfully  yours,  W.  P.  LARGE, 

Chairman  Board  Trustees.

St.  Paul,  Minn.,  July  28,  1880. 

Having  been  commissioned  to  selecta  heating  apparatus  for  the  “ House  of  Hope”  Church 
of  this  city,  we  examined  the  merits  of  different  methods,  and  linally  chose  that  known  as 
Baker,  Smith  & Co.’s  Low-Pressure,  Non-Explosive,  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Appa- 
ratus, and  had  the  same  put  into  the  church,  and  after  a trial  of  eight  winters  we  feel  warranted 
in  pronouncing  the  system  to  be  entirely  successful  and  satisfactory,  and  the  best  in  use  as  far 
as  we  have  investigated.  ,

Gentlemen, — I have  had  in  use  the  Heating  Apparatus  of  Baker,  Smith  & Co.  in  my  new 
dwelling-house  (size  of  building  50x54,  three  stories  besides  kitchen,  chambers  heated  by  appa- 
ratus). It  heats  the  house  admirably;  requires  hardly  more  care  than  a common  box  stove. 

Yours  truly  WM.  R.  MARSHALL.

I have  had  Messrs.  Baker,  Smith  & Co.’s  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  in  my 
dwelling-house  for  the  past  eight  winters,  using  both  the  direct  and  indirect  radiation,  and  find 
it  to  be  the  most  satisfactory  and  complete  method  of  heating  and  ventilating,  combining  ease 
of  management,  safety  and  economy.

Gents, — Your  favor  of  the  24th  at  hand,  and  in  reply  I would  state  that  the  Steam  Heater 
now  in  my  house,  put  up  by  you,  is  entirely  satisfactory,  giving  me  all  the  warmth  and  ventila- 
tion desired.  I take  pleasure  in  pronouncing  it  the  best  I know  of  in  the  market.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago,  111.: 

Gentlemen. — The  Low-Pressure  Steam  Heating  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  erected  by  you 
in  my  residence  has  proved  thoroughly  satisfactory  in  every  respect.  I am  much  pleased  with 
its  simplicity,  and  the  ease  with  which  it  is  managed.  All  my  rooms  are  warmed  evenly  and 
pleasantly  in  the  coldest  weather,  and  I cannot  speak  too  highly  of  your  system  of  ventilation 
and  the  quality  of  the  heat  produced.  The  air  in  the  \ arious  rooms  during  the  last  winter 
seemed  very  pure,  and  approached  nearer  to  pleasant  summer  heat  than  I have  ever  seen  pro- 
duced by  any  other  system.  1 have  found  the  apparatus  very  economical  in  the  use  of  fuel,  and, 
so  far  as  I can  judge,  very  durable.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago: 

Gentlemen, — We  have  used  two  of  your  Safety  Pipe  Boilers  for  the  last  ten  or  eleven  years 
to  furnish  steam  power  for  our  factory,  and  also  steam  he  >t  for  our  building. 

The  boilers  carry  a pressure  of  sixty  to  one  hundred  pounds  of  steam,  and  have  always  given 
us  entire  satisfaction.  We  consider  them  safe  and  economical.

MESSRS.  BAKER.  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago,  111.: 

Gentlemen, — We  have  one  of  your  “ Hot  Water  Office  Heaters  ” in  use,  and  have  derived 
the  greatest  satisfaction  from  it. 

We  find  it  easily  managed  and  economical  in  fuel,  and  most  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  any 
one  in  want  of  a perfect  “Heater.” 

Yours  truly,  JAS.  M.  WHALING.

Gentlemen, — Having  used  your  Hot  Water  Heating  Apparatus  for  several  years,  I consider 
it  the  best  in  every  respect  for  my  works,  especially  for  economy  and  safety. 

Yours  truly,  WM.  A.  ELMENDORF. 


Chicago,  June  12,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gents, — Your  Steam  Apparatus  has  now  been  in  use  in  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of 
this  city  about  eight  years,  during  which  time  it  has  had  but  few  repairs,  and  is  still  in  good 
working  order. 

When  properly  distributed  and  arranged,  I think  its  heating  capacity  good  and  economical. 

Very  respectfully,  HENRY  M.  SHERWOOD.

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago: 

Gents, — The  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  which  you  placed  in  my  house  a few 
months  since  has  operated  very  satisfactorily.  It  warmed  the  entire  building  the  latter  part  of 
the  past  winter,  with  about  the  same  amount  of  fuel  before  used  in  warming  one-half. 

The  temperature  throughout  the  entire  house  was  uniform,  a result  which  was  never 
secured  with  furnace  and  grate  tires. 

The  laundry  and  drying  apparatus  works  admirably — could  not  be  better. 

Truly  yours, 

THOS.  F.  WITHROW.

81  & 83  Jackson  Street,  Chicago: 

Gents, — It  gives  me  pleasure  to  state  that  the  Heating  Apparatus  constructed  by  you  in 
the  “Bayard  Building,”  Nos.  160  & 162  Washington  Street,  has  met  all  requirements  and 
proved  entirely  satisfactory  in  every  respect. 

The  building  is  not  only  thoroughly  warmed,  but  steam  is  also  supplied  for  pumping 
water  to  the  large  tank  on  the  roof,  to  supply  the  hydraulic  elevator.  The  boiler,  pumps, 
radiators  and  pipes  are  all  of  superior  workmanship,  and  I have  been  subjected  to  no  expense 
for  repairs  since  their  original  construction  one  year  ago. 

You  are  at  liberty  to  invite  your  friends  to  inspect  the  premises  at  any  time. 

Very  respectfully  yours.  SAMUEL  GEHR.

Gents, — Your  Water  Heating  Apparatus  which  has  been  in  use  in  the  operating  depart- 
ment of  this  Company’s  Chicago  office  for  the  past  five  years,  has  given  excellent  satisfaction. 
It  requires  but  little  care,  and  has  none  of  the  cracking  noises  or  other  objectionable  features 
of  steam  heaters. 

Very  respectfully,  J.  J.  S.  WILSON,

MESSRS.  BAKER.  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen,— It  affords  me  pleasure  to  state  that  the  Hot  Water  Warming  and  Venti- 
lating Apparatus  erected  by  you  in  my  residence  some  twelve  years  ago  has  given  me  entire 
satisfaction,  and  is  all  that  I could  possibly  desire. 

Although  in  constant  use  for  twelve  winters,  it  still  seems  in  good  condition,  and  the  cost 
of  repairs  and  consumption  of  fuel  have  been  very  moderate. 

Yours,  etc.,  URI  BALCOM.

Chicago,  May  25,  1880. 

Messrs.  Baker,  Smith  & Co.  placed  their  Heating  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  in  my 
dwelling  six  years  ago. 

It  has  worked  well.  It  has  warmed  our  house  nicely  and  kept  the  air  in  a pure  and  fresh 
condition. 

It  has  been  a success  with  us,  and  I do  not  know  of  any  one  for  which  I would  be  willing 
to  exchange  it.

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago: 

Gentlemen,— The  Low-Pressure  Steam  Warming  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  which  you 
put  into  my  residence,  602  North  Lasalle  Street,  last  November,  has  given  me  full  satisfaction 
in  every  respect,  causing  no  gas  nor  smoke  in  the  house,  and  keeping  same  well  ventilated, 
with  but  very  little  work  for  the  servant  to  tend  same.

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — 1 have  used  your  Steam  Heating  in  my  dwelling  house  for  the  last  eight 
years,  and  I must  say,  as  I have  used  others,  yours  is  the  most  perfect  steam  heating  of  all. 

F.  TUTTLE. 

Chicago,  June  5,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago: 

Gents, — About  ten  years  ago  you  put  into  my  house  your  Hot  Water  Heating  Apparatus, 
which  has  been  very  effective  and  satisfactory  from  the  first,  giving  a soft,  pleasant  heat  with 
direct  and  indirect  radiation,  so  arranged  as  to  give  plenty  of  pure  air,  combining  altogether 
a happy  medium  between  a dry  furnace  heat  and  that  from  high  pressure  steam  systems. 

The  complete  control  of  this  apparatus  as  to  giving  any  desired  temperature  is  a special 
advantage,  while  the  consumption  of  fuel  will  compare  favorably  with  any  system  of  heating, 
within  my  knowledge,  for  the  same  amount  of  surface. 

Respectfully  yours,  C.  B.  SAWYER,

Gentlemen, — The  Apparatus  for  Heating  and  Ventilating  my  residence  at  Oak  Park, 
which  I purchased  from  you  fourteen  years  ago,  is  still  in  successful  operation,  and  works 
nearly  as  well  as  when  first  put  up.  It  has  proved  perfectly  satisfactory  to  me,  furnishing  an 
abundant  supply  of  warm  air  in  the  coldest  of  weather,  with  a consumption  of  from  ten  to  • 
twelve  tons  of  coal  during  an  entire  season.  As  it  works  automatically,  it  requires  but  little 
attention,  and  the  cost  of  repairs  during  fourteen  years  has  been  but  a mere  trifle. 

Yours  truly,  JAS.  W.  SCOVILLE.

Gents, — In  reply  to  your  letter,  I am  pleased  to  say  that  after  a careful  trial  of  the  Low- 
Pressure  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  erected  by  you  in  my  house,  it  gives  me  entire  satisfaction. 
My  house  stands  in  a very  bleak  and  exposed  position,  but  has  been  thoroughly  warmed  and 
ventilated  in  the  most  extreme  weather.  I find  that  the  large  volume  of  warm  air  introduced 
is  perfectly  pure  and  free  from  dust  and  pernicious  gases;  and  the  heat  is  of  the  most  agreeable 
quality.  I regard  the  Apparatus  as  durable  in  its  construction,  and  recommend  it  for  its  clean- 
liness, simplicity  and  economy.

am  well  pleased  with  the  Steam  Warming  Apparatus  put  in  my  bank  building  by  you  in 
1875.  It  has  always  been  working  satisfactorily,  mine  as  well  as  the  others  that  you  put  in

Quincy,  III.,  June  5,  1880. 

MESSRS.  BAKER  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago: 

Gentlemen,  The  Low-Pressure  Steam  Warming  ami  Ventilating  Apparatus  erected  by 
your  firm  in  the  Adams  County  Court  House  at  this  place  in  1877  has  proved  thoroughly  satis- 
factory in  every  respect,  warming  the  building  perfectly  in  the  coldest  weather,  and  keeping 
the  air  pure  and  agreeable  even  when  our  Court  rooms  are  crowded. 

During  the  winter  of  1878-9  the  mercury  marked  as  low  as  80°  below  zero  outside,  but  we 
had  no  difficulty  in  maintaining  an  even  temperature  of  70°  in  all  part-  of  the  building. 

Our  building  is  about  95x170  and  contains  some  500,000  cubic  feet  of  air,  and  is  in  a very 
exposed  position,  being  situated  on  a hill,  and  without  shelter  of  any  kind. 

It  gives  us  pleasure  in  recommending  your  apparatus  to  any  one  desiring  a simple,  safe, 
effective  and  economical  mode  of  warming  and  ventilating.

BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.,  Chicago,  111. : 

Dear  Sirs, — The  Low-Pressure  Steam  Heating  Apparatus  you  put  in  my  building  and 
Opera  House  has  given  me  the  very  best  satisfaction.  I have  only  used  one  of  the  Boilers, 
excepting  in  the  coldest  weather  used  both  of  them.  It  is  so  very  simple  and  easy  to  manage, 
and  my  tenants  are  all  satisfied  with  the  way  their  rooms  are  heated.  I would  not  do 
without  it. 

Respectfully,  J.  E.  BONEBRAKE. 


San  Francisco,  Cal.,  March  14,  1876. 

MESSRS.  BAKER,  SMITH  & CO.: 

Gentlemen, — The  Steam  Heating  and  Ventilating  Apparatus  placed  by  you  in  the  Napa 
State  Asylum  for  the  Insane  has  been  in  operation  during  the  coldest  and  most  trying  weather 
of  the  past  winter. 

Your  undertakings,  as  specified  in  the  contract  made  by  you,  have  been  fully  complied 
with,  and  the  apparatus  gives  perfect  satisfaction. 

By  the  terms  of  your  contract  you  agreed  that  • 1 the  apparatus  should  be  capable  of  pro- 
ducing a tempera!  ure  of  seventy  degrees  Fahrenheit  in  the  coldest  weather,  in  all  apartments 
provided  with  registers  or  radiators,  with  an  average  pressure  of  ten  (10)  pounds  per 
square  inch.” 

The  results  produced  are  more  than  promised.  Every  portion  of  the  apparatus  can  be 
filled  with  a steam  pressure  on  the  boilers  of  two  (2)  pounds  per  square  inch;  and  the  heating- 
surfaces  provided  are  so  ample  that  the  required  temperature  can  be  produced  with  the  use  of 
only  a portion  of  them. 

The  entire  apparatus  is  automatic,  so  that  the  only  attention  required  is  to  keep  the  fires 
in  good  order. 

We  believe  such  a result  has  never  before  been  obtained  in  the  heating  of  a building  of 
such  magnitude;  the  building  being  eight  hundred  and  fifty  (850)  feet  front  by  five  hundred 
(500)  feet  deep;  the  external  walls  measuring  five  thousand  (5,000)  feet  in  length,  and  contain- 
ing two  million  five  hundred  thousand  (2,500,000)  cubic  feet  of  air. 

The  ventilation  of  the  building  is  most  satisfactory,  there  being  a clear  opening  through 
the  heating  chambers  of  seventy  thousand  (70.000)  square  inches  for  the  admission  of  fresh 
external  air — equivalent  to  a single  air  duct  twenty-four  and  one-third  (24  1-3)  by  twenty  (20) 
feet. 

The  atmosphere  produced  throughout  the  building  is  like  that  of  summer. 

Your  contract  has  been  fulfilled  in  the  most  satisfactory  manner,  and  was  completed  in  less 
time  than  agreed.
